Seeking Solace

A Christmas Mystery, Book 1

By: M.L. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kelley Hazen

Everleigh Beckett’s plans for Christmas are simple: Forget her ex is getting married to another woman, keep her cat Roscoe in the lifestyle he’s accustomed to, and hunker down until all the Yuletide cheer is over. Hoping to forget the season, she agrees to work extra shifts in the Missing Persons Division so her partner can spend time with his family.

What Everleigh doesn’t realize is that one of the most infamous baby-snatching cases of 1986 is about to land in her lap. Rachel Walters was just two days old when she disappeared from Heritage Hospital, but when Rachel’s mother Sarah receives a letter saying Rachel is still alive, Everleigh wants to give Sarah the closure she so deserves.

Is this a diabolical scam to get an inheritance from a dying woman, or has Everleigh just stumbled on her first Christmas miracle?

Great Christmas mystery

Even though this is a shorter mystery, it is very enjoyable. The case is very interesting as is Everleigh's world: the ex-boyfriend, now her boss, her interactions with the P.I, her friendship with Deja... all in all a character whose adventures on and off the job I want to continue to follow. I am a big fan of M.L. Hamilton's heroines and of Kelley Hazen's narrations. Can't wait for the next one.

another great novella

I can't resist these novellas. Enough mystery to keep me engaged and as usual excellent performance.

A Great Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it extremely enjoyable. An evening news feature catches the eye of the Missing Persons Division. Detective Everleigh Beckett teams up with P.I. to try and solve this mystery and give a dying woman a Christmas miracle. A great story with mystery and humour. I listened to it in one sitting. This combination of author and narrator never fails to draw you into their world.

A real Christmas miracle

I really enjoyed how the narrator brought this book to life. The story was very sweet and precious. It had its ups and downs during the investigation but managed to triumph.

Great new series.

The story flows well and keeps you involved. The narration is well done and draws you into the story. I can't wait for the 2nd book in the series to come out.
