A Christmas Homecoming by Anne Perry

3.0

Caroline Fielding finds herself accompanying her husband to a manor house in Yorkshire in order to produce a theatrical version of Dracula adapted by the daughter of the owner. Initially the play is a disaster, but with the help of a mysterious stranger it begins to appear the show can go on. When murder strikes and the company finds themselves snowed in, it is up to Caroline to figure out what happened.

Regular readers of Anne Perry will recognize Caroline as the mother of Charlotte Pitt, and consequently mother-in-law to Thomas Pitt from one of her regular series. As with all her Christmas mysteries everything is solved over a manner of days, and that's exactly what happens here. It's almost too neat, and Caroline is a bit too forthcoming with her opinions to be believable for the time period. It's a quick read, but not worth it to all, but the most die hard of fans.
