A review by judyward
A Christmas Homecoming by Anne Perry

2.0

In retrospect maybe reading this book in August wasn't the best idea, but in my defense, I had just just bought my first three Christmas presents and my thoughts were on the holidays. But, in truth, I think that my reaction to the book would have been the same if I had read it on Christmas Eve just after decorating the tree and drinking a couple of glasses of eggnog. It is the Christmas season and Joshua Fielding, his wife, and his theatrical troupe travel to an lovely manor house in Whitby where they are to debut a stage production of Dracula. While the actors revise and rehearse the production, a blizzard cuts off the outside world and a stranger dressed in black arrives seeking shelter. You got it--there is a murder in a isolated country house and virtually everyone inside the house is a suspect.
