Christmas Stories

review 1: A Christmas Grace by Anne Perry is book 6 of the Christmas mystery novel series, set in Victorian England. While the majority of the series is set in London, in this book Charlotte Pitt’s sister Emily Radley travels to the rugged west Ireland coastal town of Connemara. Charlotte and Emily’s Aunt Susannah has asked for a family member to be with her in her last days, and Charlotte is too ill to travel. Emily is very reluctant to leave her comfortable home and family at Christmastime. Her aunt has been estranged from the family since she decided to marry an Irishman and move to Connemara, and Charlotte and Emily have not kept in contact with Susannah. Emily’s husband Jack convinces her it’s the right thing to do, so she goes. Soon after Emily arrives, a terrible stor... morem hits the coast. Only one sailor is rescued from a shipwreck. He remembers his name is Daniel, nothing more. Emily notices the townsfolk are extremely frightened, both of the storm and of the survivor. Through questioning townsfolk and Susannah, Emily learns that 7 years ago there was another storm, with a single survivor who had a devastating effect on the town. What Susannah really wants is for an old murder mystery to be solved, for closure before she dies.While I enjoyed the wild and beautiful coastal setting, I found the mystery less interesting than others in the Christmas novel series, the motive for murder thin, and the story far too drenched in melodrama. The next book in the series is A Christmas Promise.
review 2: Emily is taken from her oh-so-by-the-rules behavior in London and uses the skills she has honed solving mysteries with Charlotte. She discovers an aunt of amazing character and strength, beloved by the people of her adopted home in Ireland. She regrets the loss of this amazing family member, shunned because she dared to follow her heart. Sound familiar? Emily shines and solves the murder that has haunted the town for seven years, bringing peace to her dying relative. less
