New Year, New Prosciutto

By: Jeffrey Shields

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Get ready for a New Year’s Eve like no other in the Town of Tempest, hosted by Mayor Sam Simpleton. When a party-goer turns up dead, complete with a cryptic note, the night shifts from festive to mysterious. And here’s a twist – the story unravels in real-time as you turn the pages.

Enter Guy Vanduex, a former chef turned private detective. For Guy, clues are ingredients, each one essential to the final recipe – or solution. With the police not on the scene, Guy and his sidekick Sylvia step up to unravel the evening’s mystery. They’re faced with a list of quirky suspects and baffling ‘ingredients’ – a riddle-laden note, a tell-tale shoeprint, and a mysterious triangle drawn by the victim, all adding flavor to this recipe.

As midnight nears, the duo encounters high stakes and high jinks, including a not-so-accidental toppling of champagne towers. Tension mounts with the threat of another sinister event – maybe a bomb, likely a murder – adding urgency to their mission.

Can they solve the mystery before the new year begins? It’s a race against real time as they sift through the ‘ingredients’ to prevent disaster and unmask the culprit.

Not for me and could have used another edit

This one wasn't to my particular liking. It tried a little too hard to stick to a prosciutto theme with a New Years theme. Men may like this one a big more, or at least someone who doesn't mind a slight misogynistic undertone. Even to the female characters.

As for the AI voice narrator. It missed a lot of pronunciations. The one most annoying was the last name of the main character since the main character even explicitly tries to get another character to say it right.
