Playing detective, Grandmama has one of her more exciting Christmases...
The third of Anne Perry's delightful Christmas novellas, A Christmas Guest,
depicts, with humour and compassion, one woman's discovery of the true meaning
of Christmas. Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Sarah Perry.
'The characterisation is superb. The period feel is excellent... a real page-
turner' - Historical Novels Review
Mariah Ellison isn't merely disappointed to learn that she won't spend
Christmas at home with her married granddaughter: she is furious. Instead,
Grandmama is being packed off to a house in the Romney Marshes to stay with
her ex-daughter-in-law. Never having got on with Caroline, Mariah much
disapproves of her new husband: decades younger than her, Joshua, an actor, is
scarcely even respectable. There will be nothing to do, no one to visit, and
no doubt the terrible weather will make even taking a walk impossible. It is
going to be the worst Christmas of Grandmama's life.
As if that weren't enough, another visitor is foisted on the household. Then
something shocking and quite unexpected happens. Has a crime been committed?
Grandmama is surprised to find herself turning detective - another profession
she deplores - and proving extremely good at it.
