Publisher's summary

The joyful tranquility of a snowbound estate in the Lake District of England is overturned in a moment by a shocking murder. Renowned mathematician and inventor Henry Rathbone - long known to listeners of Perry's best-selling Victorian series featuring William Monk - must put his analytical and creative capacities to the test as he assumes the role of an amateur investigator.

In this delightful Christmas tale, he rescues the holiday with a grace that would impress William Monk himself.

Truly beautiful and surprising book

Anne Perry clearly loves the land, and her elegant descriptions of nature are a joy in themselves.

Bittersweet and Luminous

Another example of discovering the true meaning of Christmas in unexpected and heartbreaking ways. Not sentimental or maudlin. The “happy ending” if you can call it that is untraditional—it’s moral, not material. Hallmark would have a hard time making it into a movie lol.

This Land is Your Land. This land is my land

I am more of a Charlotte pit reader, then the William monk series, but I did enjoy this Novella. The narrator was good.

This book makes you want to strive to be a better person

This was a wonderful story of family and honor and of doing what’s right. It was an interesting mystery and well constructed. I do recommend it whole heartedly.
