Another fun cozy mystery

Liz Dodwell's characters are such fun and quirky that you instantly love them and their quirkiness. I love that the setting of the book is at Christmas time and that Its about kittens because I love both! Jennifer Fournier does such a good job narrating these fun characters and makes listening enjoyable. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves cozy mysteries and animals.

Lighthearted & fun cozy

This was a cute lighthearted cozy mystery, and perfect for animal lovers because there are lots of plots involving dogs & cats. I loved that aspect, as it made it feel more cozy to me. In the beginning of the book Polly finds a mysterious kitten on her porch wearing a bracelet with a special engraving. We later find out where the kitten came from, what the bracelet means & how it ties in the mystery itself.
The whole story kept me entertained, as there are many different things happening through the whole book including finding 2 missing girls, solving a murder, some missing pets etc. I never felt like the story ever had a lull in it & the narration was excellent! All of the characters were voiced well & Polly was really brought to life. This book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

The Christmas Kitten: A Polly Parrett Pet-Sitter

“This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.”

A sweet cozy mystery with murder, attempted kidnapping, a bit of romance, and lots and lots of dogs and cars. Small town folks work together to solve the crimes and protect two young girls. I will look for more from this author.

The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. I loved the enthusiasm provided by the narrator !!!!

Has promise

I am a full time pet sitter so this book really appealed to me. It was sweet. No surprises. I liked the back story more than the actual plot. However, there is something there and I think it will be flushed out as I listen to more of her books. It is a fairly strong main character that I liked so it makes me look forward to future (and past) books. The narration is a little slow for my ears which seems to happen a lot. No problem, I just listen to it on 1.5 speed and it was great.

Charming, Quick Cozy Mystery

Polly Parrett has a lovely business as a pet-sitter in Mallowapple, Maine. As Christmas draws near she is busy taking care of pets and helping her mother plan an Open House for their new venture, Welcome Home, a residential home created as a safe haven for homeless military veterans and their pets.

Polly is only a little surprised to find a rescue kitten left on her doorstep. The greater surprise is the expensive bracelet around the kitten’s neck. The new kitten is quickly adopted by one of Polly’s dogs (which is adorable).

Polly brings the kitten to her mother at Welcome Home where two young girls have just been discovered sheltering in the barn. The girls' father is away in the service while they have been left with their mean stepmother. When a murder is reported, Polly and her lawyer boyfriend, Tyler, begin to investigate the mystery of the necklace, the runaway children and the murder.

This is light and fun listening with wonderful pets to share in the warmth of the holiday season. I loved the animals and the concept of the shelter for the vets with pets. The mystery is fully developed for a short work. Polly is a lively, likable character and I am sure I would enjoy more of her adventures.

This is a nice cozy mystery for all ages. I especially recommend it to cozy fans who like animals. It may be set at Christmas time but it is a warm story for any time of year.

Audio Notes: Jennifer Fournier does a charming job with the narration. It is light and easy and brings appropriate emotions to the listener. The audio added to my enjoyment of the story.

I received this title for an honest review. My rating: 4.25.
