A Christmas Secret Audiobook

" Aha! Runcorn has his very own book! "

" Set in Victorian England-- not my favorite era, but since this did not deal with the political issues/situation, it was more acceptable to me. I was disturbed-- and thought there was some failing on the part of the author-- when no one asked Branscome who his wife was when it was evident that it was someone in or near the village and she was obviously a "person of interest" in the death of the Vicar. "

" Perry's books are so easy to read and her characters are always so clear. "

" Love these Christmas novellas! So refreshing and entertaining.....great escapes for an enjoyable Christmas! Anne Perry is one of my favorite authors. "

" Always wonderful! "

" Nothing says Merry Christmas like murder, theft, lies, adultery and blackmail! I really liked Anne Perry's William Monk Novels but this was really, really weak. It felt like she was just going through the motions to fulfil her obligations to her publisher to produce a Christmas novel. "

" Good story. Conflict with an uplifting resolution. "

" It was a quick read and an enjoyable book. It is a mystery set back in the older days, so very different type of book that I am used to reading. "

" I picked this up because I felt like reading a Christmas story. Anne Perry is a nice comforting writer. You know you'll get a good story. Maybe nothing earth-shattering, but definitely not a waste of time either. "

" It was quite plain the Perry was trying to put out a short Christmas mystery for her publisher. It didn't deliver like I'd hoped. The story was very rushed at the end. Although there were plenty of red herrings to distract the reader. "

" First of Anne Perry's books. I enjoy her writing style, simple yet descriptive. A weak ending, but a good read nontheless. "

" A quick, easy read with a good story. "

" I enjoy these little Christmas books featuring characters from her longer novels. "

" Maybe 3 1/2 stars would be closer to the mark because I really did enjoy the book. It was reminscent of "Gift of the Magi" just with murder and mayhem. It's a sweet story. "

" I read this for a book club. I generally don't read mysteries, and definitely don't care for really scary/bloody/graphic stories. I liked this one well-enough, as I guess it would be classified as a "light" mystery. "

" A nice little English mystery audiobook to entertain us as we drove "over the river and through the woods" on our Christmas journeys. "

" I liked this, Loved the reader and he does most of her books on CD. Its only a 4 hour CD set and had a nice twist at the end. Fun little mystery. "

" Nice little cozy tale, set in Victorian England "

" Maybe I have read too many mysteries lately, but this one was like pulling impacted teeth. I just wasn't feeling it. "

" Fast mystery. The substitute vicar's wife discovers a body and the pretty little village quickly becomes a sinister place... "

" I enjoyed reading about Dominic and his new wife and I thought the mystery was satisfying. "

" This was an unexpected and unusual Christmas read about a mystery murder. "

" I enjoy these little Christmas books featuring characters from her longer novels. "

" I did not like this book. She's a popular author, but murder mysteries just aren't my genre. "

" This was an unexpected and unusual Christmas read about a mystery murder. "

" 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. "

" Maybe 3 1/2 stars would be closer to the mark because I really did enjoy the book. It was reminscent of "Gift of the Magi" just with murder and mayhem. It's a sweet story. "

" I read "A Christmas Beginning" by this author last Christmas and was favorably impressed. This book, ironically written sooner apparently, didn't seem quite as well written. Good character development though. "

" Very easy cozy mystery read. A simple, feel good type of read (in tune with its Christmas atmosphere). If you do pick up this book, do not expect a full blown mystery novel. As stated above, just relax and don't think too hard. "

" I love this type of book...very cozy...puts me in the mood for Christmas... "

" I liked this, Loved the reader and he does most of her books on CD. Its only a 4 hour CD set and had a nice twist at the end. Fun little mystery. "

" Good story. Conflict with an uplifting resolution. "

" I enjoyed reading about Dominic and his new wife and I thought the mystery was satisfying. "

" I found a few of these books by chance at the library. Quick, fun, require no brain power- just what I need this month. "
