#5ActFestiveStory “Who?!” I asked anxiously. “Michael Bubblé, of course! I tried to ward him off with Christmas hymns…”She looked in panicked despair. “But we can’t go anywhere…” She cut me off. “The snow will make it difficult but we have to try.” “No, he is everywhere, no escaping him in December”

Just finished this audiobook and have absolutely loved it. Had to buy the ebook so i can reread it next year and also try some of the recipes

It was an illuminating experience going to the recording of the audio book of #MissBeeton'sMurderAgency brilliantly voiced by Emily Pennant-Rae. I still want to swap the first paragraph around! #canneverstopediting
