Learn moreAnne Perry’s latest Christmas novella follows Charlotte Pitt’s mother, Caroline, as she travels up the Yorkshire coast with her husband, Joshua Fielding, and his troupe of actors. Their destination is Whitby, the famed landing site of Count Dracula in Bram Stoker’s tale; the brooding, windswept fishing village is home to theatrical “Angel” Charles Netheridge.
Cleverly playing upon the idea of evil as something one has to invite in, Anne Perry delivers another thrilling, ultimately heart-warming tale just in time for Christmas.
Anne Perry is the New York Times bestselling author of acclaimed series set in Victorian England. She has also written a series of five World War I novels, sixteen holiday novels, and a historical novel.
Terrence Hardiman has worked extensively in theater. He began at the Old Vic, went on to repertory at Bristol, and then spent five years as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He played the title role in BBC TV’s The Demon Headmaster, while his other television appearances include major parts in Secret Army, Miss Marple, Hannay, and Inspector Morse. Among his film credits are Mask of Murder, Loophole, and Gandhi.
Reviews
“There’s loads of atmosphere, plenty of Gothic steam, and a clever trick ending.”
“Perry’s fine ninth Victorian Christmas mystery takes Caroline Fielding, the mother-in-law of Inspector Thomas Pitt of Scotland Yard (the lead of Perry’s main series), to the town of Whitby, in York, where Dracula came ashore in Stoker’s recently published horror novel…Caroline proves herself an astute sleuth in this challenging whodunit.”
“Background on staging a play, plenty of vampire lore, and the personal story of Caroline’s attempt to fit in with her much-younger husband’s colleagues add to the appeal of this engaging locked-room mystery.”
“With careful attention to the nuances of character, Perry offers a tale worthy of mulling over by the fireplace.”
