Negative Positive
Title: Nice Bedtime Read
Review: This is my first Anne Perry novel. It is the story of a crochety old grandmother in Victorian times who is sent to stay with family for Christmas in the windswept Romney Marshes of England. There she meets a life-changing guest, solves a mystery, and comes to a new understanding of people and acceptance of herself. The mystery is more of an intrigue as there is not much suspense or puzzle-solving--it all seems to be resolved in a pat and sometimes not fully explained manner--but Ms. Perry is obviously a gifted story-teller and has you turning the pages. I would definitely pick up another of her books.
