The Winterhouse Mysteries

Winterhouse, Book 3

By: Ben Guterson, Chloe Bristol

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

Danger, intrigue, and the power of family combine in The Winterhouse Mysteries, the fast-paced conclusion to Ben Guterson's enchanting Winterhouse middle grade trilogy.

It’s springtime at Winterhouse, and Elizabeth is settling into the joyful chaos of her new home. But it isn’t long before she and Freddy are drawn into an ominous new mystery. Guests at the hotel start behaving oddly, and Elizabeth’s powers manifest in thrilling - sometimes frightening - new ways. As unnatural tremors shake the foundations of Winterhouse, Elizabeth hears cries for help from Gracella Winters, a villain she’d thought dead and gone for good.

Elizabeth’s discovery of a rare book containing secrets of an ancient ritual leads to a tragic realization: someone at the hotel is trying to help Gracella rise again. Can Elizabeth and Freddy banish these threats and protect the future of Winterhouse once and for all?

Pretty good until the end

This final book in the series was similar in nature to the other two books -light-hearted banter, a few jokes, a bit of magic. The disappointment came in the form of rhe ending which used a 3-wishes format to force a happy ending. That was a disappointment.

Prefect morning car rides!

I love the mystery and light heartedness of this story. My youngest daughter and I would listen to this on our car rides in the mornings and evening’s. This is our together time and it made the car ride much more enjoyable.

a nice finish

A nice conclusion to the series, and I hope that the author chooses to elaborate on stories of the other eight of the magical hotels?

Great ending 😎🤩

If your trying to find a series good for your child… Your in luck!! This book encourages you to read and teaches different ways to switch up words. I think everyone was expecting the end with Fredy and Elizabeth 🥰 so cute! I definitely recommend!! 👍😁

There were several parts that made me scream STOP

I suspect I wouldn’t have gotten so annoyed if I was reading the book, but someone going on and on and on for over 6 minutes saying nonsense words at three different places in the book is enough to drive you crazy.

As for other parts of the book, it was a good conclusion everything was tied up even though I felt parts of it were slow and contrived. Elizabeth’s attitude was improved in this book, she in the past had an annoying way of always thinking that a 12 yo was supposed to be completely correct and everyone was supposed to tell her everything, and act on her ideas. Things may have come out very different if she let the grownups handle the problems. I have mixed feelings about how pushy and obnoxious she was quite frequently in all three books. Every book was based on the exact same plot, and in each case the conclusion was the same only to start over in the next book. It would have been nice to have different plots for the three books.

Overall I am not sure I would listen to them again, but it is not a definite no.
