Review: Have no novella=teaser fear-- the whole story is here!

I don't usually pick up novellas because I just find that they frustrate me. Most offer only a tidbit of information-- a glimpse into the life of a side character, a potential-but-not-fully-fleshed story arc for the full sized installment to come or, most often, they simply exist as a teaser for the author's next book-- something to keep us book geeks salivating. This is NOT the case with Kim Wright's Angel of Hever Castle. Not only is it a fully-fleshed story complete with a satisfying ending, but it is perfectly capable of being a stand-alone. And though the case was simpler  and more quickly solved than most that Trevor and his team tackle, it did not lack in authenticity, suspense, and of course, "the twist"! Additionally, the reader was treated to glimpses of most all our favorite characters and a new (and interesting) historical setting as well as a light lesson in how Christmas and the many holiday traditions were approached during a different time. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment, but this was a great holiday treat!
