Narrators: Graham Rowat & Jennifer Pickens
Christmas Crimes at the Mysterious Bookshop was a delightful Christmas Crime Anthology. A perfect read/listen to cozy up with or, my personal favorite, to work on puzzles to. I especially like that the bookshop is REAL. I love that each tale is written as a little piece of the Bookshop's lore.
Rowat's narration lent a very curmudgeonly air to the voices of various unreliable, and often unlikeable, characters, which I very much enjoyed.
Jennifer Pickens gave a very calming yet shrewd performance, befitting of her characters.
If I ever hit NYC, the Mysterious Bookshop is officially on my list of must visit bookstores!
