About this listen

It’s Mallory Atkinson’s first Christmas in Scotland. Victorian Scotland, that is. Also, as the twenty-first-century detective learns, Christmas really isn’t a thing in Victorian Scotland. It’s all about Hogmanay. But her boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, treats her to an early gift of tickets to the event of the season: a Charles Dickens reading. There, they bump into Lady Inglis—the lovely widow who has sent Gray sexy letters trying to entice him back to her bed.

Lady Inglis introduces Mallory to Dickens—the meeting of a lifetime—but in return she wants their help. She’s being blackmailed. Someone stole letters she wrote to another lover and is threatening to publish them.

Mallory isn’t sure what to make of Lady Inglis, but no woman deserves that, so she insists on taking the case with or without Gray’s help. Growing tension between them soon tells Mallory that Gray is hiding a secret of his own. She has until Hogmanay to uncover the blackmailer…and, hopefully, to put things right with Gray so they can enjoy the holiday together.

Another great little who dunnit. Really captures the essence of early Scottish life in Edinburgh.

Only complaint on the narration... why does she make Grey so hesitant sounding all the time.. in every book.. it's as if Duncan doesn't know what to say, always sounds awkward... otherwise Love It

I Love This Series!

The characters in this series are wonderful! The story is fun and cozy and I look forward to each one!
In this novella, Mallory and Gray go on a bit of a, shall we say, awkward adventure to solve a mystery involving an ex lover. We get to learn a bit more about Gray's past and also get to meet Charles Dickens!
The Mallory and Gray adventures are just so much fun!
The narration was great, as always! Kate Handford does a fantastic job at bringing the characters to life as she has in each book thus far.
I look forward to the next book in this series! I would love an Isla/McCreadie novella too! 😏

Great novella with the best side character!

This was highly intriguing to listen to. We often hear about Victorian Christmas elements and imagine how it would be applicable to our favorite historical adventures stories and it was delightfully done! We also learned more about Lady Inglis and how Duncan’s relationship with her ended.
