Publisher's summary

It's Christmas and the well-born guests who have gathered at Applecross for a delicious weekend of relaxation are warmed by roaring fires, mistletoe, and gorgeously wrapped gifts.

It's scarcely the setting for misfortune, and no one - not even that clever young aristocrat and budding sleuth Vespasia Cumming-Gould - anticipates the tragedy that is to darken this light-hearted holiday house party.

But soon one young woman lies dead, a suicide, and Vespasia must uncover the heartbreaking truth behind the tragedy.

I loved this book!

I have all of Anne Perry's Christmas books and they were wonderful. That didn't stop me from listening to this fantastic audio version. Well done!

So much better than I was expecting!

Interesting, well thought out, and the secrets of each character were revealed over time. It was a really enjoyable story, but ít could have used more references to Christmas.

A journey to hell and back

I like the narrator. This was my first time listening to him. I thought the story was interesting, but not stellar if I had not read another Christmas novella by Anne Perry I might not have continued.

enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed this shirt story. I thought the groups plan of forgiveness was a little far fetched but I g with it and it ended very well.

Lady Vespasia!

If you have some of the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries, you have met this powerful character. This story is a great peak into her past.

Excellent narration

This has an excellent narration, and the story is interesting, but it is very short, and I did want a little more detail to understand relationships.

Went over the top

A tale that stretches the boundaries of possibility within a story that isn’t about the improbable. This is about the societal limitations of women in our past, about stark (real) inequalities, not fairness or fair tales. So to have our heroine traveling to where she does at the time that she does in the manner that she does is something that belongs in a book that is about stretching the truth to fit a nice narrative. I won’t continue with this series.
