Long Deathly Christmas

My review -
Verity
and her new husband Jerry are invited to spend Christmas with his siblings and
their spouses, at his brother-in-law’s palatial mansion, Thornley Park. She
meets her new nephew and niece, Thornley and Cecilia. Verity asks Thornley if
she can call him Thor, which delights him as his own name is a real mouthful.
During the festivities, the Tremayne Treasure, a miniature painting, goes
missing. Verity’s investigative juices spill over and she gets her teeth into
another mystery.
I
loved all the characters here, and especially the eight year-old Thor. I’d love
to think he’ll appear in future stories. He brings out aspects of Verity’s
character she didn’t know were there. I had a slight problem with the timeline
of one of the characters, but it didn’t impact my enjoyment of this tale. As
usual, some of Verity’s thoughts made me laugh aloud. A great story.
