Review: Christmas intrique

A fun, if short, addition to the Lady Julia mysteries. I especially enjoyed the setting of this one. It takes place at the March estate, with most of the March clan assembling there for Christmas. In this one, there is not a murder, but rather a mystery surrounding a missing emerald ring and a mysterious ghost that has been seen prowling around the house. This is nice addition to the series as a Christmas treat. Don't look for any great mystery or character development here, but think of it as a little stocking stuffer until the next Lady Julia full length book.  An added and very interesting extra, is the directions within the story for making the sweet smelling March potpourri. Brisbane, Plum, Portia, Jane the Younger, Lord March, and Julia are as enchanting as ever. Worth the $1.99 I paid to tie me over while I wait for the next book.
