Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âTis the season for a pair of Christmas novels that add a dash of murder to the Yuletide spirit.
Â
âPerryâs Victorian-era holiday mysteries [are] an annual treat.ââThe Wall Street Journal
Â
A CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING
Â
âCould have been devised by Agatha Christie . . . [Anne Perry is] a modern master.ââPittsburgh Post-Gazette
Â
Charlotte Pittâs mother, Caroline, is spending the holiday with her young husband, Joshua Fielding, in Whitby, the fishing village where Dracula first touches English soil in Bram Stokerâs sensational novel. Joshua has arranged to produce a stage adaptation of Dracula, written by the daughter of millionaire Charles Netheridge, but tempers flare after a disastrous first read-through of the script. As wind and snow swirl around Netheridgeâs lonely hilltop mansion, a black-cloaked stranger emerges from the storm. At the same time, a brooding evil makes itself felt, and instead of theatrical triumph, there is murderâshocking and terrifying.
Â
A CHRISTMAS GARLAND
Â
âIn Anne Perryâs gifted hands, the puzzle plays out brilliantly.ââGreensboro News & Record
Â
The year is 1857, soon after the violent Siege of Cawnpore, and India is in the midst of rebellion. In the British garrison, a guard is killed, a prisoner escapes, and a luckless medical orderly named John Tallis is arrested as an accomplice simply because he was the only soldier unaccounted for when the crimes were committed. Though chosen to defend Tallis, young Lieutenant Victor Narraway is not encouraged to try very hard. His superiors merely want a show trial. But inspired by a simple Christmas garland, and his own stubborn faith in justice, Narraway is determined to figure out the truth, despite the appalling odds. In an alien world haunted by massacre, he is the accused manâs only hope.
