Description:
This is the twenty-first book in The Christmas Stories series by Anne Perry. However, it can be read as a standalone.
Mariah has arrived to town. When she shows up at her friend’s house, Sadie is no where to be found. Sadie’s husband doesn’t know where Sadie has gone to or when she will be returning.
Mariah doesn’t think Sadie would just disappear when she had been expecting her and even helped her get there. If Sadie has disappeared after all the talk about town of Sadie preparing for Mariah’s visit there has to be something wrong. If Sadie ran off and got lost or hurt, she could be in danger of freezing to death.
Will Mariah be able to find Sadie before it’s too late?
Review:
I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Susan Lyons as well as reading the ebook version. Lyons has a voice that fits perfectly for historical fiction books. I really enjoyed Lyons narration and would recommend this book in either version.
This was a quick mystery that kept me guessing. I wasn’t sure what was going on at first. The twists in this story kept me entertained til the end. These ladies seem to be such good friends at first but as the book evolves I began to question their friendship and everything else I thought about them and the other characters involved.
This ends on Christmas Day but is not really centered around Christmas. If you are looking for a book that has all the festivities you would normally find around Christmas, this is not it. However, it is a good read that does have the winter vibe.
While this is a book from a series, I read this as a stand alone. I didn’t find any issues understanding the story without having read the previous books. However, I do also have A Christmas Legacy(#20) to read and will be reading it soon.
I would recommend this short read for those looking for holiday readathon books or anyone looking for a winter mystery without all the holiday fluff.
