About

With Christmas just around the corner, Thomas Pitt's sister-in-law, Emily Radley, is suddenly called from London to be with her dying aunt. Leaving her husband and two children behind, she makes the long journey to her aunt's home in Connemara, an all-but-forgotten town on the coast of Western Ireland. Emily soon discovers that a tragic legacy is haunting the once close-knit community. Violent storms ravage the coast and keep alive painful memories of an unsolved murder-and unsettling fears that a culprit may still be among them. Determined to lighten her aunt's spirits and help the troubled community, Emily sets out to unmask the killer. And when a lone shipwreck survivor washes up on the shore, he brings with him not only the key to solving the terrible crime, but the opportunity for the townspeople to make peace with the past-and with each other.

"Perry effortlessly evokes the region's insularity and isolation while imbuing religious themes into a whodunit without being preachy."
Publishers Weekly
"This lovely Christmas tale, rich with the textured writing of an expert, has a tangled mystery, a lonely town and the hope of redemption. Layers of hope, grief, regret and horror create an almost paranormal effect in this period piece"
