A Christmas Message

By: Anne Perry

Narrated by: Jenny Sterlin

As suspenseful as it is heartwarming, set in Jerusalem, the latest Christmas novel from New York Times best-selling author Anne Perry is the perfect holiday treat.

When Victor Narraway, Thomas Pitt's close friend and former boss, and his new wife, Lady Vespasia, travel to Jerusalem for a Christmas holiday, Vespasia cannot shake the feeling that they are being watched. Then, an old man leaves a mysterious envelope for Narraway - and is murdered soon after. But it is only when the couple is ambushed the following morning that they realize they are in grave danger. Armed only with the instructions from the message in the envelope, they immediately set out on a journey through the Holy Land while their unknown enemy pursues them all the while.

Prepare to think more deeply.

Sacrifice for greater knowledge of things not seen yet hoped for. Truth is eternal, and has nothing to do with how it makes you feel!

An Interesting Book

Like all of Anne Perry's books, this one was interesting and riveting. The setting was very different - the Middle East. I liked the characters a lot in this new setting.

Too Obtuse

Totally got the concept but this went far afield of being a murder mystery.

My Favorite

I know all the Pitt mysteries nearly by heart, and I have to say, this is my favorite. Ms. Perry allows herself to express her faith without ambiguity, and it's beautiful, especially in the characters of Lord and Lady Narraway. She strikes the perfect balance between Narraway's pragmatism and Vespasia"s heart, with strong doses of the opposite in each. This one is short, but it's a masterpiece.

Great story to listen to.

This is a short novel which follows two characters from the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. Engaging and excellent narration.
