About this listen
The letters arrive unsigned. The writer demands that Penelope meet him in one of London's most ill-reputed and darkest streets. When she dares to keep the assignations, she encounters a man in a black mask who leaves her breathless from his stolen kiss. Yet he claims the reason for their surreptitious tryst is an honorable one. Should she believe him? Can he be trusted?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,926
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Lovely, endearing book, fun mystery

Miss Penelope was a prominent character, but Miss Mae did suh a great jpb of writing all the characters I enjoyed them all
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not a story....needs some chaanges
I didn't think I had written my reviews down and I didn't think I had listened to it yet. I found my reviews so I'm posting. This isn't a a story, it's only an hour or so long. I've said it and I'll say it again, it's not a story! This should have short story, prequel, or novella on it somewhere. I know this is only my opinion.
This story was better than the other I had listened to hit its still set in the same type of places as her previous short stories. I think some change would be better instead of writing about the same type of place. It was filled with mystery, intrigue, and it kept me immersed. (less)

Short and fun melodrama
Where does Miss Penelope's Letters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Miss Penelope's Letter's is sitting up there with the audio books I have listened to more than once!!
What did you like best about this story?
The high drama and mystery played out well. I enjoy intrigue in stories and Miss Penelope's Letters had it in buckets! The melodrama was accentuated by the tone of voice and expression used by Marcus Hyde. His performance style certainly suited the story.
Which scene was your favorite?
For being a short story it has plenty of great scenes to competing to be my favourite. However, the confrontation between Lord Wellington and Penelope on the moonlit terrace and the subsequent fight between Wellington and Soldier was a suspense filled scene.
I also enjoyed the scenes with Mrs Ashbury as I thought she was quite funny. She added lots of humour to the story.

MISS PENELOPE'S LETTERS
Author: Miss Mae
Type of Book: Audiobook Unabridged
Narrator: Marcus Hyde
Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Romance
Release Date: December 23, 2014
Publisher: Miss Mae
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
* I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.*
Penelope has been hired on as a housekeeper in a wealthy household. She has not been there long when letters begin arriving addressed to her, but unsigned.
The letters ask her to meet the sender, but it is always at night and definitely not in the most reputable part of town.
Penelope is intrigued (what girl wouldn't be?) but she is also cautious and skeptical.
One brief but amazing kiss has her wondering just what she has gotten herself into.
This audiobook is short, but the author manages to pack a lot of story into a brief time.
There is mystery, there is romance, there is history and politics and there is lots of intrigue.
I enjoyed the fact that the story focused mainly on the mystery aspect and kept the romance aspect to a minimum. Sometimes, less is more as it is with this audiobook.
The narrator does a pretty good job of most of the voices in this book, but one voice (the voice of Charlotte) does not seem to match the character. She is supposed to be a fairly young, unmarried woman, but the voice he uses makes her sound the same age as the voice he uses for Charlotte's mother. But... that is just my opinion. Other than that, I think Marcus Hyde has done a good job with pacing and he speaks clearly which is much appreciated by the listener.
All in all, I rate this short novella audiobook as 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Engaging historical mystery short story!
Miss Penelope's Letters written by Miss Mae is an engaging short story of intrigue and mystery. The story centers around Penelope who is rescued one night from an attack by pirates by a handsomely masked soldier. That same soldier later sends her a letter requesting her help without letting her know it is for the utmost of noble causes (to rescue and nurse young boys who are being kidnapped and sold into slavery). She can't resist the temptation of seeing her soldier one more time. It is good clean fun finding out who the soldier is.
I listened to the Audible version of this book narrated by Marcus Hyde who did a fantastic job, keeping me entertained throughout. He had different voices for each character, both male and female. He also had a way of portraying "soldier" such that he sounded very sexy and smoldering. Great job! I received a copy of this audio in exchange for a review.
