Reviews for Murder in the Manger

[Marie Friederichs · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Where was the murder? There isn't even a remote murder in the book. Nobody mentions murder. Nobody searches for missing baby. A broken doll is the only violence at all. The synopsis of the book included here has no relation to events in the book. I doubt the person who wrote ut read the book. This should be reclassified. Only reason 2 stars is the Excellent narrator.
