A Christmas Garland by Anne Perry

4.0

A quickly read, entertaining Christmas novella, typical of Perry's Christmas books. In this installment, 20-year-old Lieutenant Victor Narraway is serving in India just after the uprising at Cawnpore. He is given two days to construct a defense for a soldier accused of betraying his fellow soldiers and killing a well-liked Indian soldier; there is no concrete evidence to prove the soldier guilty but he is the only person whose activities cannot be verified by another. Against all odds and thanks to a game of hide-and-seek with a young child he has befriended, Narraway succeeds.
