6 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
Renowned for her acclaimed Victorian novels as well as a stunning new series set in World War I, Anne Perry consistently dazzles us with stories rife with emotion, intrigue, and psychological depth. She recently expanded her talents with the delightfully rendered novella, A Christmas Journey, which USA Today called one of the best books to brighten the joyous season. Now she has given readers another gifta yuletide offering full of holiday magic . . . and murder. The Dreghorn family is gathering for an anticipated reunion in the Lake District of England. The blissful tranquility of the snowbound estate, however, is soon shattered by what appears to be an accidental death. The victims distraught wife, Antonia, summons her godfather, distinguished mathematician and inventor Henry Rathboneone of the most beloved characters from Perrys bestselling William Monk series. But questions about the tragic event turn into whispers of murder, sending shock waves among members of the Dreghorn clan, who havent seen each other in ten years. Now Rathbone must put his analytical and creative capacities to the test as he assumes the role of an amateur investigator. But while searching for clues and mulling over potential motives, he cannot help but wonder: Will another poor soul meet the same untimely endand be silenced like the night? In this Christmas novella, featuring a colorful, somewhat eccentric cast of characters and an irresistible plot as twisty as a ribbon, Rathbone rescues the holiday with a grace that would impress William Monk himself. From the Hardcover edition.

I liked this. Short little Christmas murder mystery. Three and a half stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

So, I realized a few days ago that I was mistaken in thinking A Christmas Beginning was my #DoubleSpin; it was actually A Christmas Visitor! Another Anne Perry, and also very enjoyable. Not long, wonderfully evocative in its descriptions of the landscape, and a rather unusual mystery. So, I read two #Doublespins in a way. And my first book down for #DashingDecember!

Yule log burning in the big firepit tonight!

Our Yule log, with wishes, lots of wishes. We burned it tonight, on a cloudy evening, so no planet viewing (bah!) but it was fun nonetheless. Making headway on A Christmas Visitor; aiming to finish it tonight for #DashingDecember.

Sitting on the couch after finishing this #HolidayRead, watching the Hubz play Borderlands 3.

I wasn‘t a huge fan of the writing or the mystery in this story. Does anyone have an Anne Perry book they would recommend as better indicative of her work?

Just finished the first two of these Victorian mysteries set during Christmastime. Quick reads and perfect for curling up with warm cider and a blanket.
