Review: A Case for Christmas

A Case for Christmas A Case for Christmas by J.A. Rock and Cornell Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lord Christmas Gale is a genius and a misanthrope, and, quite to his disgust, adored by all of Society for his capacity to solve mysteries. When a man approaches him seeking help in locating a lost dog, Gale rebuffs him. But what begins with a missing dog ends in murder and intrigue-two of Gale's favorite things, if it weren't for the orphan that comes attached to them. Oh, and Benjamin Chant.

The Honourable Mr. Benjamin Chant isn't sure how he got swept up in Gale's mad investigation, but something is intriguing about the man-a vulnerability that most of the world doesn't notice, but which captures Chant's interest, and his sympathy, from their first meeting. After a disastrous love affair in the past, Chant has sworn to never give his heart away again. Especially to a man who does not want it.

The most memorable thing about this audiobook was the amateurish way the corrections were pasted into the track. I think even with 5-dollar earpods and in traffic, you can hear the big volume change. With hifi headphones, you also hear the change in ambiance.

It was s nice story with a bit of romance in a pleasant, alternate Regency setting.
