Narrator Esther Wane narrates a thrilling holiday mystery from Peter Swanson. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the manor house mystery and its ghostly tale. One lonely Christmas night, Emma reads the diary of a fellow student she invited to her family’s English manor house for the holidays thirty years earlier. Wane uses a vague American accent for Ashley’s tale in the diary, full of wide-eyed pleasure at the “Gothic thriller” she feels transported into. With thrills, romance, and a ghost, this novella is a big gift in a small package.
