A Christmas Escape by Anne Perry
4.0
Charles Latterly, Hester's brother, has been a shadow character in the series so far - appearing occasionally, but not one you feel you know (an acquaintance of the reader, if you will) - so being the central character is something new, and very welcome.
He's passing the Christmas holiday in Stromboli, a small island off the Sicilian coast. At first his manner is reserved, his regret evident, but as the atmosphere and his host work their magic he welcomes the change, becoming almost playful as he learns to respect the surroundings. But this is not your typical feel-good Christmas novella: just knowing the author leads you to expect something sinister, a mysterious death. Two questions remain: who will survive, and where is the bigger danger: a murderer, or the volcano?
