Cantankerous and vinegar-tongued Grandmama arrives on a holiday visit to the home of Charlotte's parents, where a fellow guest--an outcast from her own family--is subsequently murdered. Like the heroes before her in Anne Perry's Christmas novels, Grandmama is called upon to play the role of amateur detective. Grandmama is a bitter old woman who criticizes everything. As she starts to investigate and learn about the other woman, she does comparisons between the two of them. It makes her rethink some of her attitudes and she’s a better person at the end. This was a quick and decent story with a bit of Christmas sprinkled throughout. Uplifting! Thank you Anne Perry for this uplifting installment of the Christmas Mystery Series. The series features minor characters from red main series who uncover murders at Christmas time. This one featured "Grandmama" Ellison, a mean spirited Scrooge like character. It was both an insightful and inspirational read! no reviews | add a review
