A Christmas Revelation
By: Anne Perry
Rating: 5 of 5
I’m fairly new to novels by Anne Perry, having just started reading them in the last year. This is a short novel about a young boy, Worm, who is a character in at least one other series by the author.
Worm has just found his place in a women’s home. The bookkeeper there is, Squeaky, a former criminal who is meticulous in what he does.
Worm runs across a woman in distress and gets Squeak to help him to help her. Squeaky does but at the same time is aware of the possible heartbreak young Worm may find.
So Squeaky determines to show Worm about Christmas. From the traditions that revolve around it to the true meaning of the birth that is celebrated, Squeaky is the font of wisdom.
The story is about both – showing Worm a true Christmas and at the same time, trying to rescue a damsel in distress.
As with other books by this author, I enjoyed this book immensely. I’ll be reading her old series entries to see where these characters originated. The story absolutely can be read stand-alone with no need to read the prior books.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
