Publisher Description

Readers of Anne Perry's bestselling suspense novels revel in a world that is all their own, sharing the privileged existence of Britain's wealthy and powerful elite in West End mansions and great country houses. It is also a world in which danger bides in unsuspected places and the line between good and evil can be razor thin. This new novel features Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould—one of the most memorable characters from the Thomas Pitt series—who appears here as a lively young woman, the ultimate aristocrat who can trace her blood to half the royal houses of Europe.

"An Ann Perry Christmas story! A mystery to be solved at during the Christmas season. No light holly, jolly Christmas here, but a great story with wonderful characters. "

— Janice (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Set in Victorian England, this novelette has all the poignancy one might expect from Anne Perry…With subtle tone and pacing, Terrence Hardiman infuses Isobel’s careless remark with the depth of cruelty it reveals.”

    " I didn't quite get it. I'm sure there's some sort of Victorian reference that I missed. I'm confident I'll get it figured out with the help of my Book Club on Monday, May 24th, at 7pm at Bent Cover Bookstore. "

    " This was okay as an audio book, but the story left a lot more questions than it answered. But at least it was short. I don't think there was enough depth to the story to be any longer. "

    " This was a rather short book, but a good story set in Victorian times, a little Christmas mystery surrounding a suicide at a weekend house party. Interesting characters and solid development of the relationship between the two main characters, who start out as friendly acquaintances, then through their "Christmas Journey" deepen their friendship. Liked it. "

    " I liked this one, but was not as interested in what would happen next as I was with A Christmas Guest. Anne Perry's insights into human nature is wonderful. It adds a welcome depth to the mystery she writes. "

    " A Christmas Journey takes a character from the Pitt series, Lady Vespasia. I liked it quite well, actually. It was a light read. I looked for this for 8 months before I found it. I haven't read the Pitt series, but didn't really need to. "

    " A quick read from Anne Perry with a message of redemption. I enjoy the glimpse of privileged English life she gives. I liked that there was also a message and point to the story but that it was very oblique and not preachy. An enjoyable 2-3 hour read. "

    " The first library book I've read all the way through on my Nook! Predictable wild-goose-chase story line. A tale of morals. Regrettably, not very Christmas-y (despite the title). I wished Ms. Perry would have described the Victorian Christmas decor and dinner items more fully. "

    " I always like to read books set at Christmastime during December and found six this year-- all short(100-200 pages) mysteries set in Victorian Britain, by Anne Perry. Fun, easy reads for whiling away the cold hours 'til Christmas. "
