A Christmas Escape: A Novel

For countless readers, Christmastime means a delicious new holiday mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry. A Christmas Escape, her twelfth noel to the season, transports us to a Mediterranean island for an unconventional Yuletide adventureâ‚¬"and an unforgettable volcanic encounter.
Â
Lonely Charles Latterly arrives at his small hotel hoping that the islandâ‚¬s blue skies and gentle breezes will brighten his spirits. Unfortunately, thereâ‚¬s no holiday cheer to be found among his fellow guests, who include a pompous novelist, a stuffy colonel, a dangerously ill-matched married couple, and an ailing old man. The one charming exception is orphaned teenager Candace Finbar, who takes Charles under her wing and introduces him to the islandâ‚¬s beauty. But the tranquility of the holiday is swiftly disrupted by a violent quarrel, an unpleasant gentlemanâ‚¬s shocking claims of being stalked, and the ominous stirrings of the local volcano. Then events take an even darker turn: A body is found, and Charles quickly realizes that the killer must be among the group of guests.
Â
Captivating in its depiction of untamed nature in all its awesome power, and of the human heart in the throes of transformation, A Christmas Escape gifts readers with Anne Perryâ‚¬s talent for making the season brighterâ‚¬"and more thrilling.
