A Christmas Beginning

by Anne Perry
audioCD, Hennepin County Library, 4 hours & 7 minutes
read by Terrence Hardiman

Runcorn has gone to Anglesey on vacation but he stumbles upon Melisande and a murder. Victorian mystery that just doesn't work for me.

Runcorn is too easily cowed by the gentry. The narrator did a lovely job, but I found myself not able to empathize with the main character. The ending surprised and pleased me, but overall I wish I hadn't spent my time on this one. And of course, I'm now racking my brain trying to figure out which other story I've read by this author and if I liked that one any better . .. .
