Murder in the Mist (Main) | Cora Harrison

1 post | 1 read

Tis the season of goodwill, and Dickens extends the hand of friendship to a stranded stranger and his nephews for Christmas, with deadly consequences . . ."The ingenious solution to the mystery makes this the series' best entry yet. Victorian whodunit fans are in for a treat" Publishers Weekly Starred Review Wilkie Collins is looking forward to spending Christmas at Gads Hill, Charles Dickens' Kentish country home, but the festivities are cut short when a body is found on the snowy marshland. Timmy O'Connor was invited to the gathering with his four nephews after a chance encounter with Dickens, but is now dead. Dickens is convinced the murderer is one of the convicts from a nearby prison ship, but Collins is not so sure. Who was this mysterious and unpleasant stranger from Cork who turned Christmas cheer to fear? With the convicts, guests and even Timmy's nephews under suspicion, there is no shortage of suspects for such a violent act, but which one of them is a cold-blooded killer?

Murder in the Mist (Main) | Cora Harrison

so-so

New murder mystery involving Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. Overall, the story wasn't as immersive or spooky as I had hoped. I never felt a connection to any of the characters and didn't end up caring much about them. I did enjoy the settings - a church graveyard and prison ship were perfect for a murder story.

I also liked how the story was meant to give inspiration for Dickens' book, Great Expectations.
