Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. 6"x8.75". 182 pages. X-library w/graphics. First printing. Set in 16 pt. Plantin. Alkalin paper. Cover design by High Pines Creative. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. The novel is set in 1890 England and featuries the Reverend Dominic Corde, a secondary character in Perry's Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels (The Cater Street Hangman and Brunswick Gardens) and his new wife, Clarice. The couple receive "the greatest Christmas gift they could have been given, " when the elderly vicar of a small village in Oxfordshire takes an unexpected vacation and Corde is asked to stand in for him temporarily over the holidays. Leaving behind a bleak, industrial London for the picturesque hamlet of Cottisham, the Cordes are absolutely ecstatic about the opportunity--that is, until Clarice finds the body of the Reverend Wynter hidden away in the cellar. As Christmas quickly approaches, the Cordes investigate the shocking death by talking to the parishioners, some of whom are harboring atrocious secrets. Goodreads 3.65.
Anne Perry gives us again a beautiful Christmas Mystery where one character of her past novels has to deal with unexpected murder and use skill and compassion to solve it. A wonderful story to read during the Christmas season, possibly next to a fireplace with some rich scones and plenty of hot tea!
