A satisfying mystery with a warm, Christmasy feel. (

bookappeal | Dec 15, 2023 |

This little "extra" story (#10.5 within the Charles Lenox mystery series by Charles Finch), was the perfect book for the final days of Christmas. There's a missing lieutenant of the Queen's Grenadiers, presumed dead, and the curious details surrounding the disappearance. There's anger, bitterness, loss, love, and hope. The kindness of strangers is ever a poignant lesson. There is also the comfort and joy of family.

As a novella, this mystery is not as complex as the usual novels within this series. However, it is no less enjoyable and its message of tender kindness is an excellent reminder to us all. (

I did not enjoy this book, but it is likely because I read only one book in the series (a later installment which I also did not really like that much). I simply did not follow the action very well. Someone was missing, but that's about all I figured out. (

Quick ebook to hold over Lenox fans until the next novel comes out in early 2018. Enjoyed as I do all his stories. Looking forward to his new full length one coming out in the spring, getting great advance reviews. (

I particularly like the books in this series in which Charles' brother Edmund is included as he is in this one. The plot revolves around a young Grenadier that goes missing a few days before Christmas. After the mystery is solved we learn what a good and generous heart Charles has.

Series books with a Christmas theme are often given short shrift by the author, but this is written and plotted as well as others in the series. A warm Christmas story. (
