About this listen
For nearly 20 years, Chester Claus had run a year-round Christmas-themed diner in Wrangler’s Hill. His annual holiday feasts were legendary, attracting favorable columns in the Guardian and the New York Times. For many Indiana locals, he was the embodiment of the holidays - gregarious, portly, his eyes radiating amusement as he handed out candy to children. The idea of anyone wanting to murder him was simply preposterous.
But when Claus is found dead in his kitchen during the Christmas Feast, poisoned with his own favorite knife, it falls on Indiana’s finest amateur detective, Geneva Pomolo, and her partner, Iris Reeves, to investigate. What they discover will shatter the legend around Claus’s life, revealing a marriage in turmoil, a history of bullying, and a rivalry with fellow restaurateurs.
The investigation yields no shortage of suspects - the old enemy from his school days still bearing a grudge, the wife terrified he is going to leave her, the bookie who assists him in betting on horses. And when Geneva is close to uncovering the truth, her own life is endangered by someone who will go to any lengths to avoid prison - even if that means committing a second murder....

This is book 23 of the Mrs.Polloi series - and the first that I have read. It's fun, with gossipy characters and a murder mystery to solve, a little bit Agatha Christie style, at least that's what Geneva thinks.
This cosy mystery is read by Kathleen Strecher, a hint of laughter playing somewhere in the depths of her warm and pleasant voice. Well paced, her narration also has good modulation and fresh voicing for each of the varied protagonists, her performance definitely helping to successfully steer the reader to the end.
.Short (only two and a bit hours), fun and totally unbelievable, Christmas Diner & Death is an easy book to enjoy and stands alone despite being part of a long running series
"Happy Christmas, Mr.Claus."
