Even before I opened this book, I thought the premise was fantastic. A woman who had just buried her husband later believes she sees him alive on the nanny cam in her living room! Where do you go from there?

I loved the way she appeared to be vulnerable at the beginning but quickly found her metal as she set out to learn the truth. She was determined not to let her demons get in the way and hated to ask for help, something I could empathise with completely.

The book kept me gripped until the end–and what an end! The twist that had barely been hinted at but which seemed so plausible when it was revealed. An excellent end to a gripping story!

I’m a sucker for murder mysteries, especially those set in the early 20th century (yes, Agatha Christie is up there with my favourite authors!)

I really enjoyed this Christmas-themed mystery set just after World War 1. The opening chapter had me hooked. A body on the front doorstep that was unknown to the owner of the house. Not that the police were convinced of the householder's innocence. The cast of characters who arrived for the Christmas season was an eclectic mix, and it soon turned out that many had motives for murder.

I loved the way the author gave me enough clues to try to play detective, but in the end, she had me stumped. An excellent twist, as with all good murder mysteries!
