It’s Mallory Atkinson’s first Christmas in Scotland. Victorian Scotland, that is. Also, as the twenty-first-century detective learns, Christmas really isn’t a thing in Victorian Scotland. It’s all about Hogmanay. But her boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, treats her to an early gift of tickets to the event of the season: a Charles Dickens reading. There, they bump into Lady Inglis—the lovely widow who has sent Gray sexy letters trying to entice him back to her bed.
Lady Inglis introduces Mallory to Dickens—the meeting of a lifetime—but in return she wants their help. She’s being blackmailed. Someone stole letters she wrote to another lover and is threatening to publish them.
Mallory isn’t sure what to make of Lady Inglis, but no woman deserves that, so she insists on taking the case with or without Gray’s help. Growing tension between them soon tells Mallory that Gray is hiding a secret of his own. She has until Hogmanay to uncover the blackmailer…and, hopefully, to put things right with Gray so they can enjoy the holiday together.

In this novella, Mallory and Gray go on a bit of a, shall we say, awkward adventure to solve a mystery involving an ex lover. We get to learn a bit more about Gray's past and also get to meet Charles Dickens!
The Mallory and Gray adventures are just so much fun!
The narration was great, as always! Kate Handford does a fantastic job at bringing the characters to life as she has in each book thus far.
I look forward to the next book in this series! I would love an Isla/McCreadie novella too! 😏

Another great little who dunnit. Really captures the essence of early Scottish life in Edinburgh.

The mystery itself was an interesting little case with just enough twists and turns that wrapped up nicely, and the characters it introduced were such a delight as well. I think that's what I loved the most about this one--just how much time we got to spend with Mallory and Gray, and Jack especially.
My only complaint (which isn't even really a complaint) is that the romantic tension is absolutely about to burst at this point. If these two don't get together in the next book, I may riot.
Huge thanks to the author for the free copy of the audiobook!
