Another one of the best entries in this series--although the Cockney dialect may take a while for your mind's ear to "hear," the story is charming. It features Gracie Phelps from one of Perry's mystery series and the mysterious Mr. Balthasar, whom I'd like to read more about! The book also made me think of the incredible abundance my family and I enjoy, and of the many people who would be amazed at what we are blessed with--time to make a donation to a worthy cause, even if it won't help little girls in Victorian London. Thanks, Anne Perry. Very disappointed in this book! I 'liked' it simply because it wasn't such an awful book that I couldn't get through it. It was an easy read for the most part, but I expected it to be more like Anne Perry's other novels. It is more of a mystery/who done it story rather than a Christmas story. The last chapter was really the only chapter that even really mentioned much about Christmas. Not much of a heart-warming Christmas story at all, in my opinion.
Do You like book Das Weihnachtsversprechen (2010)?
I never finished it. I didn't like it as much as her other Christmas books.

I love Anne Perry Christmas books. There are 6 or 7.
