(  ) Kathy89 | Oct 15, 2009 |  Another really enjoyable novel from Anne Perry, I didn't actually read this navel at Christmastime as I would normally try to but it was less important than with others as it was less centred on Christmas themes in the secular sense. The story was powerful and interesting. (  ) susanpenter | Apr 24, 2009 | I have come to look forward to Anne Perry's little Christmas books. They are always a delight, and each one gives us a more intimate look at one of Ms. Perry's lesser characterizations from her extensive bibliography. This book focuses on Charlotte Pitt's sister, Emily Radway. I have always loved Emily in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt books, and this book gives us a whole new look at the wonderfully fashionable Emily. She sets off to visit a sick, estranged aunt in the western part of Ireland, just before Christmas in 1895. She finds a dying village when she gets there, and promises to try to find out the answer to an old mystery which caused the death of a young shipwreck victim seven years ago. Ms. Perry gives us a wonderful description of Connemarra and the sea that rules the lives of the people that live there. Thank you again for a lovely little gift Ms. Perry. (  ) Romonko | Feb 16, 2009 | Traveling to the coast of Ireland to stay with a dying aunt who she barely knows, Emily witnesses a ship going down off the coast of Ireland. A lone survivor of the wreck is helped ashore and brought to her aunt's house to stay. The villagers are put on edge by this as the last time a ship wreck survivor ended up on their coast, the survivor was murdered. Emily notices that the town is slowly dying partly because of the suspicions everyone has for everyone else not knowing who is the murderer. As Emily finds herself becoming attached to her aunt, she sets out to find out who the murderer is, hoping to allow her aunt to die knowing that the town she loves will survive. Wonnderfully written, this mystery will hold you til the end. (  ) edundatscheck | Feb 11, 2009 | Another lovely, haunting story in Perry's 'Christmas' series.
