En la Inglaterra victoriana, en vísperas de Navidad, la muerte del juez Judah Dreghorn conmociona al condado de Lake. La viuda trata de esclarecer los hechos con la ayuda de Henry Rathbone, un amigo de la familia. Todo apunta a que Ashton Gower, condenado por un caso de falsificación de documentos, está más que implicado en la muerte del juez. Pero Henry da con otros dos oscuros personajes que trataron de embaucar a Gower…

If I have a complaint about Anne Perry's writing, is her tendency to hammer home ideas to the point of reader irritation. Her curse for being repetitive strikes in A Christmas Visitor when she constantly tells the reader how honest and upstanding the dead man is. She was so insistent on the point I thought (hoped) the big reveal would be treachery on the dead man's part. But, this is a Christmas story and that was not to be the end. Due to lack of time and space, novellas suffer even more than novels from the dearth of legitimate suspects, making the story less about whodunit and more about how the investigators figure it all out. Perry's descriptions are, once again, stellar, but the mystery is at times overly confusing, though the conclusion is decently satisfying, if not surprising. Having said all that, I would still choose an Anne Perry novel over most other options. ( )

Anne Perry was a new author to me discovered when I first read the blurb in the “Early Reviewer” November 2014 listing from LibraryThing. I was very happy that I was selected to receive an Early Reviewers copy of this title from the monthly batch of offerings. Since that time, I treat myself to reading another Christmas story by the author each holiday season. It is truly a gift of reading that I look forward to each year. I could devour her novels in one holiday season but it is a treasure to enjoy each exquisite story and message and carry that reflection close in heart. ( )

I've been wanting to read this series and of course being that it is a Christmas series it was never available at the library but this one came available and I scooped it up. I suspect that it is a series that can be read in any order and that it is a series by way of theme. It was a great historical cozy mystery. I'm looking forward to the others. ( )

A happy Christmas reunion of the Dreghorn family was thwarted by the sudden death of one of the brothers. Though ruled accidental, the gathering family cannot believe the tragedy was simply an accident. In trying to understand the events that led up to the death, they suspect it could have been murder. But digging deeper, they uncover an unsavory act that could change all their lives forever. This intricate plot has as many twists as a country road, and will keep your interest until the very end.
