Unabridged Audiobook
A little twee for me. Too much description of pretentious
Anne Perry fans will enjoy this book's focus on Lady Vespasia and Victor Narraway. The action takes place at a Christmas gathering at a country estate, but the story has little to do w/ Christmas. The narrator's skill along with the well-written lead characters more than make-up for the occasionally pedantic dialogue and somewhat repetitive themes.
I enjoy Anne Perry’s writing. This story is especially interesting considering that I only recently learned that Anne Perry murdered someone when she was 15. The message in this story about human frailties, faults, forgiveness, and mercy are a bit more meaningful.
