Christmas Homecoming - Hardcover
A Victorian tale of murder and intrigue taking place on a snowy Christmas in 1897... During a bitter snowstorm, a mysterious stranger descends on the Netheridges' country home in Whitby, where a group of renowned actors have gathered to prepare a Boxing Day production of Dracula. Amidst an atmosphere of competing theatrical egos and artistic disagreements, the unknown Mr Ballin is brutally murdered. Determined to uncover the truth, but without help from the police who cannot reach the house through the snow, Caroline Fielding begins to investigate the circumstances surrounding the puzzling affair. Who was the victim? Was his appearance at the house as innocent and as circumstantial as he professed? And which of the guests knows more than they are letting on?

Praise for the Christmas novels of Anne Perry A Christmas Odyssey "[Perry] writes with detail that invades the senses.""--Lincoln Journal Star" A Christmas Promise "Poignant . . . should be on the Christmas stocking list of anyone who likes a sniffle of nostalgia.""--The Washington Times" A Christmas Grace "[A] heartwarming, if crime-tinged, complement to the holiday season."--"Booklist" A Christmas Beginning "Intriguing . . . Perry's use of period detail is, as always, strong and evocative.""--The Seattle Times" A Christmas Secret "A delightful little book . . . Perry's gift is that she can evoke a sense of place and time while still producing the thrills and chills expected of a modern-day mystery writer."--"The Orlando Sentinel"
