Everyone in this one (my Christmas read last year) was so unlikeable - didn't mind at all if they all perished horribly! My Christmas read this year, however, I'm tempted to read right now: the British Library series' "Silent Night" short stories. Was it you who mentioned this one? It looks great. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-27138341304098016822015-11-05T14:24:49.527+00:002015-11-05T14:24:49.527+00:00It's a lovely tale of a dysfunctional family a...It's a lovely tale of a dysfunctional family at Christmas - I always find her books a treat, and this one was better than I remembered Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-66232044556892080372015-11-05T14:23:25.598+00:002015-11-05T14:23:25.598+00:00Not a fan of penh allow either, but generally love...Not a fan of penh allow either, but generally love her to bits - literally judging by the state of the books!Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-49646520218574224232015-10-29T19:37:41.234+00:002015-10-29T19:37:41.234+00:00Thanks for this review!

Will have to move it to the top of the TBR pile and read it before the holiday. We have been getting lovely reprints of her books in the US by Sourcebooks and I bought it without even reading the cover blurb.JoannaVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-9078022000145503982015-10-28T10:19:48.313+00:002015-10-28T10:19:48.313+00:00Have them all, love them all.

But all the other detective and regency are regular re-reads for me ... never a long enough gap to forget who the killers are, but I never mind that, with her!SarahCnoreply@blogger.com
