A gentle holiday novella that incorporates all the essential elements of a Lady Emily mystery with a Christmas theme and a sweet ending. I generally find novellas less than satisfying, but this one works very nicely.

#gratefulreads #shortstory I got sidetracked while hosting #Litsypartyofone and have missed a few days. I‘m back on track now! I don‘t read many short stories, but I did order this holiday story featuring one of my favorite characters. I‘ll wait until closer to Christmas to read it, tho.
