This book was given to me by my friend Audrey W. for bookcrossing. It is a paperback edition.
From the cover:- "Meg is definitely not in the Christmas mood but she gets invited to spend the run-up to the big day in the snowy countryside and she can't refuse. As she begins to settle in she spots an unwelcome familiar face."
Reserved for Plum-Crazy who gets all my Christmas themed books until she tells me otherwise!

This book will be sent by post to Plum-Crazy on or around the above date.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Another addition for my CHRISTMAS IN JULY Challenge, although this will have to wait until next year to be released as I want to read it first ;o) Thank you x

On it's way to Poodlesister to read &/or release to a Little Free Library

Released as part of the 2022 CHRISTMAS IN JULY CHALLENGE (#24)

Thanks so much for the big package of light reading. I really need this kind of reading to help me sleep.

I’ve finished this today resting in bed as I’ve finally got Covid. It’s been a perfect distraction.

This will be going in the Mixed Fiction Bookbox

Swapping over with a lighter book. I will save this for the Christmas Bookbox.

Putting this in the Christmas Bookbox.

Taken out of the Christmas Bookbox, as my TBR pile is massive it may take me a while to get to it.

A good book to read in the busy run up to Christmas, I enjoyed it.

Thought that you may like this, if it's not to your taste please feel free to pass it on :-)

Merry Christmas!!

Thank you very much, looks like a great Christmassy read!

Merry Christmas! x

Portrait painter Meg has never been into Christmas, and she's just recovering from pneumonia, but Clara Mayhem Doome, famous epigrapher, is a force not to be resisted. Meg soon finds herself feeling at home in the family's Victorian pile - or she would, if it weren't for their connection with blast-from-the-past Lex, a man with whom she has a confusing history. There's all sorts going on in this: a family mystery, an attempted murder, but at last all the tangled threads are resolved. I'm a bit bemused by people deciding to get engaged the second they get together - surely no one really does that? Anyway it's a good Christmassy read.

To the finder, enjoy, and I hope you will write a journal entry so that previous readers will know that this book has been found. It is always a joy to find where it has gone. You can remain anonymous but if you are interested in joining (free with no strings) please consider using greenbadger or anyone else who has journaled the book as your referrer.
I don't get anything from this except for the pleasure of watching my books travel and knowing that they are giving pleasure to others.
Keep the book for as long as you like, and when you are done with it please pass it on to a friend, or set it out "in the wild" for someone else to find as you did. When you pass this book along, please make a release note to let others know where you left it. Thank you.
