A Christmas Journey
Anne Perry
Guests have been invited to spend a holiday weekend at Applecross, an English country estate.
When a young woman is apparently driven to suicide by the cruel remarks of another guest, thoughts of celebration quickly turn to thoughts of justice, forgiveness, and atonement.
As a group, the remaining guests decide that the young lady that they hold responsible for playing a part in the other's suicide must undertake a perilous journey into the brutal winter of the Scottish Highlands, in order to find the dead young lady's mother, and to explain her role in her death.
It always gives me a lot of pleasure to read Anne Perry's Chrismas books this time of year, even though the themes are often dark and difficult.
