  Je mets 4 * toute enthousiasmée mais honnêtement, l'histoire en vaut 3. Mais je suis toute guillerette d'avoir découvert une nouvelle héroïne que je vais suivre, c'est sûr ! Posie Parker est détective privé dans le Londres des années 20. Vous pensez à Maisie Dobbs ? Moi aussi 😉 J'ai hâte de lire une de ses aventures plus longue !

  What a Christmas Eve this is! L.B. Hathaway’s A Christmas Case, A Posie Parker Nouvella is intriguing and dynamic read. As the holiday season is upon us, I decided to grab this nouvella to read after Thanksgiving dinner,and I am very pleased I did. Posie and Chief Inspector Lovelace of New Scotland Yard decide to attend a gathering in Yorkshire at Rebburn Abbey. As the English are wont to be - the group appears eccentric and not quite right to Posie. The Chief Inspector also feels something is amiss. As the evening progresses, more odd events take place. As Posie retires after all the doings, there is a knock on her bedroom. As Posie opens her door, what paralyzing information is she about to hear? Very well done!

  I liked the historical fiction aspects of this novella okay but the 'mystery' part of it was too fraught with coincidences (and basically no detection at all). Plus I didn't care for the little bit of paranormal that was slipped in.

  random cliff hangers
  
  was that cliff hanger at the end necessary? and it was all a strange bit of coincidence. i want to ask question but i don’t want to give things away. we need a discussion group.

  I've been a fan of Posie Parker since I downloaded the first book.
  
  For a novella, this certainly packs in a gripping storyline.
  
  This is so good I'm going to go back to the beginning of the series and read them all again!

  As the author says, this novella which is part of the Posie Parker female detective cosy historical mystery series pays "homage" to an Agatha Christie story which also has characters "gathered together at a party at Christmas, storytelling." It is not usually in the list in order of the Posie Parker novels and I stumbled on it by accident. Based on publication date, it comes between "The Murder of a Movie Star" and "Murder in Venice" but some details don't seem to fit and it actually should be read AFTER "Murder in Venice." It gives more details about Posie's past, and we can only hope that more information will be forthcoming.

  This novella features Posie Parker, a private detective in 1920's London. She is spending Christmas at Rebburn Abbey with friends, including Inspector Lovelace from New Scotland Yard.dde When guests are invited to share their stories of "personal mysteries," Christmas Eve suddenly turns dark. I enjoyed this novella, and I plan to read other books in the series. I enjoyed the main character, and I found the story interesting and unusual. Excellent holiday reading.

  This Posie Parker cosy crime mystery was one of the best yet from L B Hathaway – a classic 1920s locked room mystery, complete with creepy dolls house and a historical mystery about a fire. Does a lot in a relatively few pages – I loved it. Get it now for curling up with at Christmas – a mystery that keeps you guessing and is quite thrilling.
  
  Highly recommended.

  A Christmas Case
  
  Posie is spending Christmas with Rufus and Dolly in Yorkshire. Among the other guests is Inspector Lovelace. For various reasons this is one Christmas Posie won't forget in a hurry.
  This Posie Parker Novella excavation read and contains many different themes. I found it a great read and a relaxing way to spend some time on Christmas Day.

  All Poise Parker series.
  
  I have really enjoyed all of her books and will look forward to a new one soon. The characters are the same in most of her series which is a good thing to look forward too.

  Locked Room Mystery with a twist
  
  I enjoy Posie Parker and I would have given it a 5 star, but it was a bit grim for a Christmas mystery. But it's full of enough twists and turns to keep you reading. I look forward to her other adventures!

  Jolly Good Read
  
  This is a good read, well written, atmospheric, and intriguing. What I enjoyed most was learning about the Parker family's unhappy past, and a new chapter in Posie's life.

  Good Read but a Little Confusing
  
  There were parts of the story that seemed a little disconnected. I thought some of those things would be resolved.
