About the Author

Anne Perry was born Juliet Hume on October 28, 1938 in Blackheath, London. Sent to Christchurch, New Zealand to recover from a childhood case of severe pneumonia, she became very close friends with another girl, Pauline Parker. When Perry's family abandoned her, she had only Parker to turn to, and mostrar mais when the Parkers planned to move from New Zealand, Parker asked that Perry be allowed to join them. When Parker's mother disagreed, Perry and Parker bludgeoned her to death. Perry eventually served five and a half years in an adult prison for the crime. Once she was freed, she changed her name and moved to America, where she eventually became a writer. Her first Victorian novel, The Cater Street Hangman, was published in 1979. Although the truth of her past came out when the case of Mrs. Parker's murder was made into a movie (Heavenly Creatures), Perry is still a popular author and continues to write. She has written over 50 books and short story collections including the Thomas Pitt series, the William Monk series, and the Daniel Pitt series. Her story, Heroes, won the 2001 Edgar Award for Best Short Story. Her title's Blind Justice and The Angel Court Affair made The New York Times Best Seller List.

Mariah Ellison is the featured sleuth in this, Anne Perry's last Christmas novella. Blackmail is rampant in the village of St Helens and the blackmailer is missing. Good characters, a lot of soul searching and gentle persuasion and Anne Perry's always good plotting and explication make this fitting ending to her long, productive and excellent career.

while the amnesiac detective plot has been done quite a bit, it is rarely done as well as it was in this book.

That, plus the several references to the need to sit down so As not to force a character to crane their neck makes me think the author is a Stout fan. There were a couple of things that made it a less enjoyable read. The repetitive nature of the plot was one. The fact that each person promises to tell no one and then tells everyone,while realistic, was annoying. It also seemed amazing that the detective would have fallen for the “I knew that because so and so, who must be the guilty part” told me.” Line.… (mais)
