A picturesque Yorkshire village is dressed in its finest for the upcoming Noel. But one of its residents will not be celebrating this holiday. Chief Inspector Alan Banks knows that secrecy can sometimes prove fatal---and secrets were the driving force behind Caroline Hartley's life...and death. She was a beautiful enigma, brutally stabbed in her own home three days prior to Christmas. Leaving her past behind for a forbidden love affair, she mystified more than a few. And now she is dead, clothed only in her unshared mysteries and her blood. In this season of giving and forgiving, Banks is eager to absolve the innocent of their sins. But that must wait until the many facets of a perplexing puzzle are exposed and the dark circle of his investigation finally closes...and when a killer makes the next move.

Solid story, interesting characters, nice tension, not too much violence -- a good purchase. For my taste there's too much character development of the coppers but this seems to be a very British trait in murder mysteries -- at least in those I've read in the last 5 years.

Excellent performance by James Langton -- did not detract or intrude on the story but helped to showcase the story and characters.

Very Good British Mystery

I've read a number of the Alan Banks' mysteries. This book maintains the quality of the characters and story line of the others. I enjoy British mysteries, and this author's series is one of my favorites. The narration is terrific.

Another Enjoyable Read

The ending was surprising but simple in the explanation. Great book. Felt it went in more details of past issues but wasn't necessary, however all that was explained and clearer at the end.

Surprised

I did enjoy this story very much. It was moody and moved along smoothly from Yorkshire to London and back again. The Reader was excellent his performance of the various characters voices transitioned so smoothly made his telling of the tale perfection.
