The much-anticipated return of the hit Audible Original Mistletoe Murders series, featuring Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) reprising her role as cozy crimefighter and year-round Christmas store owner Emily Lane in Mistletoe Murders 4.
Coming from Canadian Screen Award winner Ken Cuperus, with Ginny & Georgia’s Raymond Ablack plus a stellar ensemble cast featuring Kylee Evans (The Good Witch) and Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience), this new season of the Audible Original will help you get in the festive spirit this holiday season.
When Emily Lane isn’t busy running her charming Christmas-themed store ‘’Under the Mistletoe,‘’ located in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, she finds herself compelled to investigate not-so-quaint local murders. This season finds Emily returning to Fletcher’s Grove after a long absence and reacquainting herself with the town, her ex, Sam, Sam’s new girlfriend, and of course, murder. But it’s not so easy to slip back into the life she left a year ago—especially when another person from Emily’s past arrives in town under mysterious circumstances. Is it a coincidence, or is someone pulling the strings to target Emily—and if so, what’s their endgame?
The Mistletoe Murders Audible Original series inspired the hit Hallmark adaptation of the same name starring Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney, currently in its second season.
Emily is back in town, and of course back to solving murders. She’s been gone a year and some things have changed – Sam has a new girlfriend, Violet is at college, and some things haven’t- like the diner’s black coffee. Each audiobook has three separate novellas and each one is fun and has a bit of suspense. The mysteries are (mostly)self-contained but there is an over-arching storyline that deals with Emily’s past. We of course end on a cliff-hanger, which I do find annoying. I will listen to the next one – I don’t need a cliff-hanger to guarantee it. Actually, by the time next December rolls around, I’ll probably need reminded what was going on anyway.

Okay, have you watched the TV series on The Hallmark Channel. I thought about binging it but wasn’t sure if I should.
Yes and no. I’ve had it on a couple of times – once I fell asleep and the other I was doing stuff around the house and not paying attention.
