A Christmas Journey

It’s Christmas and the well-born guests who have gathered at Applecross for a delicious weekend of relaxation are warmed by roaring fires, mistletoe, and gorgeously wrapped gifts. It’s scarcely the setting for misfortune, and no one – not even that clever young aristocrat and budding sleuth Vespasia Cumming-Gould – anticipates the tragedy that is to darken this light-hearted holiday house party. But soon one young woman lies dead, a suicide, and Vespasia must uncover the heartbreaking truth behind the tragedy. ©2003 Anne Perry (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks America
