"As Christmas approaches, justice must be done..."
"A bit-sized mystery that could be fitted in after your Christmas lunch." (Daily Telegraph)

"A festive tale of betrayal and the search for justice, which can often be hard to find..."
"1857. After the fire of mutiny has swept through British India, young Lieutenant Victor Narraway arrives at a battered military base at Cawnpore. It is just two weeks before Christmas, but no one is able to celebrate: they have been betrayed."

Sent to my partner in the European Secret Santa Exchange, with some other Xmassy goodies.
I hope you'll enjoy everything I have chosen... and Merry Christmas! :)

Thank you very much for this book. I have already started reading. And thank you for all the lovely goodies. Merry Christmas!

A great book! I loved the detailed descriptions of feelings and it was interesting to get the impressions about living at Victorian ages in India in military surroundings. Although it was clear how the book would end, because it is a Christmas based book, it nevertheless was exciting up to the end.
Thank you, dear Bookworm-lady for this choice :-)

Travelling to my German Christmas buddy :-)

I found this book along with wonderful presents in my Secret Santa parcel of 2021 (Weihnachtswichteln). I am already looking forward to reading it.

A really captivating book. You learn a lot about duty and feelings of honour of British soldiers in India at that time and a bit about life in the military camp. You also learn about the atrocities the soldiers have experienced or witnessed. Hard to stand sometimes but nevertheless very interesting. I had to look up some of the words not familiar to me. The case itself was very exciting and I didn't have the slightest idea of what really happened that day until it was solved.

A Christmas Surprise 😊����
