It really hit me reading this book how the class system has much less weight than it used to, or it seems that way to me at least. I think a police rank would be far more respected across the board now than in those days. I am so glad that a happy ending was arrived at - although we could have been treated to a bit more detail but that is being sentimental. In reality a whole new book could be written as a follow up... ( ) The class consciousness that overlays this story is very distasteful. It is intrusive. It is repetitive. And it takes away from the story which is quite well done. As usual, Perry does an excellent job of scene setting. Her "warm rooms" are very inviting and the biting winds suggest a sweater to the reader. I've been reading this series out of order as I find the books. I don't see that it makes a difference in the telling of the stories. This one took a while to bring all of the characters into view and with substance. I felt for a while it dragged and then half way through the book the story got a shot of espresso and information was flying at the reader. Non fact, I had to re-read portions to get people and situations in order. It really does get good but I think I'll re-read it just to glean information or hints I missed in the beginning. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Superintendent Runcornâ??who Anne Perry fans will remember as William Monk's ex-bossâ??is feeling rather lonely during his holiday on the remote, snowy island of Anglesey, off the north coast of Wales. However, he is suddenly called into action when the sister of the local vicar is discovered murdered and draped over a gravestone in her brother's churchyard. Investigating this tragic crime with the assistance of the beautiful Melisande gives him just the opportunity he needs to spend time with an upper class woman who normally wouldn't give him the time of day. Interweaving the original Christmas story with her own holiday tale, Perry also explores the meaning of Joseph's secondary role compared to that of Mary and Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
