A Christmas Hope: A Novel by Anne PerryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Number 11 in Anne Perry's Christmas novellas, A Christmas Hope finds us back in 1868, not so merry, old Victorian England, during the Christmas season. Claudine Burroughs is tired of the empty round of social engagements and tepid conversations and tired of the emptiness found in her own marriage of convenience. When a popular poet is accused of murder at the latest party attended, Claudine does not go with the consensus of his guilt and attempts to discover the true culprit. Knowing her husband would be horrified with her inquiries and stop her attempts, courageous Claudine must do so in secret and therefore pulls in an unwilling helper.
Perry's Christmas novellas are tiny gems - I look forward to reading them at every Yuletide season.
