The story is set in Bath , England in 1911 and centers around two main characters , Cornelia Culford , a woman going through a desperate divorce from her no good husband and Stephen Gower , a former Scotland Yard employee but now a security man at Pennington’s. Stephen is not long at Pennington’s when he is asked to help out with something not in his job description , there is deep concern that there may be a very dangerous killer lurking in Bath , those he cares for could be in danger so he says yes to the request .
The story combined murder , mystery and romance wonderfully , Stephen is a knight in shining armor and not one to be messed with , I was rooting for him to get his man ! Cornelia is a formidable woman , seeing her confidence grow was delightful and I was eager to see how everything would work out in the end for her . The plot was a complete treat with plenty to keep me interested in the characters , danger , love and bad guys , all while being set somewhere completely delightful .
I recommend this to any fiction fan .
I received this from Netgalley in exchange for a review.
Rachel Brimble – Christmas at Pennington’s
About the book
Gripping drama as Pennington's department store prepares for a glittering Christmas in 1911, but a killer stalks the women of Bath.
Christmas sees Pennington's at its most glorious, thronged with shoppers, its grand staircase and balcony adorned with holly, mistletoe, tinsel and lights. It should be the happiest time, but dramas are seething beneath the surface.
For Cornelia Culford, in charge of jewellery, a divorce hearing looms, where she could lose custody of her young sons to her overbearing and unfaithful husband.
For Stephen Gower, being head of security at Pennington's is the perfect refuge from a tragic past at Scotland Yard. But soon the past will call him back, as Joseph Carter and Elizabeth Pennington beg him to help solve the murder of Joseph's first wife, now that it seems as if the killer has struck again.
For Joseph and Elizabeth, their marriage depends on exorcising the past. But can it ever be laid to rest?
