Description
Charlotte Pitt’s clever grandmother investigates the sudden disappearance of her dear friend in this chilling holiday whodunit by New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.
Mariah Ellison, Charlotte Pitt’s grandmother, accepts her longtime friend Sadie’s gracious invitation to spend Christmas with her and her husband, Barton, in their picturesque village. But upon arrival, Mariah discovers that Sadie has vanished without a trace, and Barton rudely rescinds the invitation. Once Mariah finds another acquaintance to stay with during the holiday season, she begins investigating Sadie’s disappearance.
Mariah’s uncanny knack for solving mysteries serves her well during her search, which is driven by gossip as icy as the December weather. Did Sadie run off with another man? Was she kidnapped? Has someone harmed her? Frustratingly, Mariah’s questions reveal more about the villagers themselves than about her friend’s whereabouts. Yet in the process of getting to know Sadie’s neighbors, Mariah finds a kind of redemption, as she rediscovers her kinder side, and her ability to love.
It is up to Mariah to master her own feelings, drown out the noise, and get to the bottom of what occurred, all before Christmas day. With the holiday rapidly approaching, will she succeed in bringing Sadie home in time for them to celebrate it together—or is that too much to hope for?

Mariah Ellison, Charlotte Pitt's paternal grandmother, travels to St. Helens in Dorset to spend Christmas with her old friend Sadie Alsop. However, when she arrives, Sadie is not at home, and her husband refuses to allow Mariah in, seemingly unconcerned with Sadie's absence. Mariah finds a place to stay with acquaintance Gwendolyn Cooper, and they and the villagers find it strange that Sadie is missing when she was clearly expecting Mariah. Concerned, Mariah and Gwendolyn, along with help from bookseller Oliver Mallard, investigate. They uncover information that makes them believe Sadie may be in grave danger, and they mount a search to find her before it is too late. In her eighties and lonely, the well-drawn Mariah does a lot of soul searching, regretting her previous self-absorbed and ill-tempered behavior due to past trauma, hoping to change and build a new life for herself in St. Helens with friends and even a possible romantic interest. All ends well in the late Perry's twenty-first Christmas cozy (after A Christmas Deliverance, 2022) firmly set in late Victorian England.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
