Emily Radley, Thomas Pitt’s sister-in-law, leaves her family just before Christmas to go to Ireland because her aunt is terminally ill. On arrival she discovers that there is something sinister and strange going on in the village and people are too afraid to talk about it.

Perry’s writing is magnificent as always. I feel drawn in like I am actually in Ireland 1895.
The beginning and ending as well as reference to weather conditions in December I think add to the Christmas feel of the story. I quite enjoyed the surprise ending. Didn’t see that coming at all.

As this is a novella, the plot progresses quite quickly with just enough information along the way. It’s a good companion on a little break in the Christmas preparations

A Christmas Grace is recommended for fans of Anne Perry’s other work as well as readers of history crime fiction in general.
