A Christmas Return by Anne Perry
4.0
Even though this is the fifteenth novella in the festive series, having not read any other books in the series, it definitely reads as a stand alone. Not only is it my first book I've read in the series but also the first book I've read by the author.
This was a relatively quick and quaint read. Even though only a novella, I fast became a fan of Mariah's character. She reminded me a bit of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Quite stern yet lovable.
I loved the era the story is set in as well as the investigation. It's not a dark crime read by any means but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. If you are looking for a more lighter crime fiction read set at a festive time of the year, then this is a perfect little read.
A Christmas Return is nice little read that was easy to get into and had me captivated with the wonderful era it's set in. I think if you love you Agatha Christie style mysteries then this is an author whose books you should definitely give a go.
My thanks to Headline for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
