Silent Night

A Raine Stockton Dog Mystery

By: Donna Ball

Narrated by: Donna Postel

It's Christmas time, and for Raine Stockton and her Search and Rescue dog, Cisco, Hansonville, North Carolina is just like a Norman Rockwell painting - except for the rash of thefts of baby Jesus figurines from nativity scenes, an abandoned box of golden retriever puppies that someone leaves beside her mailbox, and a mysterious gift from one of Cisco's a grateful admirers. Raine already has her hands full with her own misbehaving pooches, unexpected house guests, and a complicated new relationship. But when a newborn is abandoned in the manger of the town's living nativity and Raine walks in on what appears to be the scene of a murder, she has more to worry about than keeping the Christmas spirit alive.

Great story ..even better narrator!

Would you consider the audio edition of Silent Night to be better than the print version?

Yes the narrator brought this story to life!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Silent Night?

The bonding between Melody and our maim character!

Have you listened to any of Donna Postel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No unfortunately this was the first not I have listened toamy so I am not easily pressed.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cryed and was drawn in deep into the story.

Any additional comments?

best Christmas ever

warm, funny, heartfelt story, I love dogs, and love to train. I hope the next book is quick in coming.

Love this dog mystery series!!

The author has a gift of portraying the emotions of her characters in a very realistic fashion. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing the story to life with her talented way of translating those emotions with her voice as she tells the story. I’ve read the series in order, and so far this was my favorite! I like how Raine seems to get involved in the mysteries quite by accident, and she discovers and figures out clues without even looking for them! The dog’s escapades and training sessions are so much fun, as is the evolving story of Raine’s life, her dog training business, her friends, the town, the Sheriff’s office, and her love life. Makes me want to go visit or live there..if only it were for real🐾
