Just in time for the holidays， Anne Perry gives her fans a marvelous gift： a new yuletide yarn full of light celebration and dark mischief.
Dominic Corde is thrilled to “fill the robe” as substitute vicar in the village of Cottisham， while the Reverend Wynter is away on a three-week Christmas holiday. Glad to escape his dreary London flat and a less-than-satisfying job as church curate， Dominic and his beloved wife， Clarice， set off for what they hope will be a lovely winter getaway.
Upon arrival， in the midst of a frigid， exceptionally snowy season， Dominic and Clarice are welcomed by warm， hospitable neighbors and enchanted by the cozy， inviting vicarage. Everything seems almost too perfect. Dominic’s only concern is how he will be received by the congregation， who hold the Reverend Wynter in such high regard. But as Clarice soon discovers， she and Dominic have much more dire matters to worry about. It turns out that the Reverend Wynter isn’t on holiday at all–and that something very sinister has transpired.
As a blizzard leaves Cottisham treacherously snowbound and the isolated village swirls with unsavory secrets， Dominic and Clarice suddenly find themselves in deadly danger. Anne Perry is the bestselling author of No Graves As Yet, Shoulder the Sky, and Angels in the Gloom; three earlier holiday novels: A Christmas Journey, A Christmas Visitor, and A Christmas Guest; and two acclaimed series set in Victorian England. Her most recent William Monk novels are Dark Assassin and Death of a Stranger. The popular novels featuring Charlotte and Thomas Pitt include Southampton Row, Seven Dials, and Long Spoon Lane. Her short story “Heroes” won an Edgar Award. Anne Perry lives in Scotland. Visit her website at www.anneperry.net.
