Another of Anne Perry's Christmas novellas centers around Henry Rathbone's efforts to clear the name of his friend Judah Dreghorn, who has died suddenly in what appears to be an accident but is discovered to be murder.
This was an interesting rendition of a postmortem revelation of a character who has done wrong but without knowledge of the injustice until the very end.
