A review by dmchurch
A Christmas Hope by Anne Perry

4.0

Claudine Burroughs is a well-kept but lonely wife of a cold, distant husband. However, she does find human connection and a feeling of fulfillment in her volunteer position at a women's clinic.

When the Burroughs attend a party meant to boost her husband's career, the party ends with the death of a young woman who may have been a prostitute. Three of the society family sons place the blame on Dai Tregarron, a poet and outsider.

Dealing with the issues of class and justice, Perry weaves a story around a society woman who risks the favor of her husband and peers to find the truth rather than accept the status quo.
