By: Christa Nardi, Cassidy Salem

Narrated by: Julie McCarthy

Hannah and Tamar are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving break with their grandparents. On the long ride to Vermont, the sisters are quick to offer assistance when a fellow passenger - a girl in her late teens - is hassled by a rough-looking young man. Grateful as she may be for their help, Gwen is in no hurry to make friends, not even as she thrusts a mysterious package into Tamar’s hand and disappears in the Rutland train station. Puzzled by her behavior, Hannah and Tamar set out to locate Gwen and unravel the secret of the mysterious package.

Fans of Nancy Drew will enjoy this mystery.

Decent, quick mystery for younger listeners

While I did enjoy the Mysterious Package to some extent, I think it's more suitable for younger listeners (think younger teens). It's a very lighthearted mystery about a package that is thrust into Tamar's hands but the girls are puzzled as to who it is for, what are the contents etc.
I actually kind of like that it's a light mystery - not everything has to be about violence, after all - so it's definitely suitable for young and emerging detectives, puzzle solvers or mystery lovers.

A clean, relatable, fun mystery

This book will appeal to those in high school, or middle school. Hannah and Tamara are sisters who are in high school, and are off to visit their grandmother over Thanksgiving. It was fun to actually read this during the Thanksgiving season! On the train they help a girl who is being hassled. At the train station, she gives them a package, which they don’t open. Their grandfather, a retired police offer, gets involved helping them to reunite the package with the girl – or is she actually the rightful owner? And what is actually in the package, anyway? The girls’ also become romantically involved with two boys from the area. This is a clean book, with relatable people and situations. Well done! The audio narration was good. I received a free copy of this audiobook, with no obligation.

A Delightful Mystery

This mystery was charming and as the blurb stated very reminiscent of the Nancy Drew mysteries that I read in my youth. I enjoyed it and I recommend it to others who enjoy this genre. Julie McCarthy's narration was good and fit the story well. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Who owns the package?

The Mysterious Package is Book 1 in A Hannah and Tamar Mystery by Christa Nardi and Cassidy Salem. I thought this mystery was so enjoyable. Hannah and Tamar are going by train to visit their grandparents. Gwen pushes a package into Tamra's hands and runs away. The sisters try to discover what is in the package and who does it belong too? I thought the characters were good and I enjoyed the mystery. I was able to listen to the audio book in one setting. I think that this story will be interesting to younger teens and adults. I am looking forward to book 2. Julie McCarthy does an amazing job as narrator. She was able to express the teen girls in a younger voice while aging her voice for the adults.

Whose the package owner?

The Mystery Package. A Hannh and Tamara Mystery, Book 1 by Christa Nardi and Cassidy Salem.

Hanna and Tamara were on the traing going to their grandparents house for a family reunion when a girl they helped to get out from a young man shoved a package in Tamaras hands and left the train. So when they got home to their grand parents home, they spent the days looking for the girl to give her back the package.

This has been a really fun book to listen to. I liked the way this book developed, how the characters were presented and the easy going vibe it gives.

I think this audiobook is going to be interesting to young teens and can be considered a cozy book for them.
