  Charlotte Pitt’s clever grandmother investigates the sudden disappearance of a dear friend in this chilling whodunit, the final holiday novel by the late New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry. 
   
  Mariah Ellison, Charlotte Pitt’s grandmother, accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her longtime friend Sadie and Sadie’s husband, Barton, in their picturesque village. But upon arrival, Mariah discovers that Sadie has vanished without a trace, and Barton rudely rescinds the invitation.  
  Once Mariah finds another acquaintance to stay with, she begins investigating Sadie’s disappearance. 
   
  Mariah’s uncanny knack for solving mysteries serves her well during her search, which is driven by gossip as icy as the December weather. Did Sadie run off with another man? Was she kidnapped? Has someone harmed her? Frustratingly, her neighbors’ questions reveal more about the villagers  
  themselves than about Sadie’s whereabouts. Yet in the process of getting to know Sadie’s friends, Mariah finds a kind of redemption, as she rediscovers her kinder side and her ability to love. 
   
  It is up to Mariah to master her own feelings, drown out the noise, and get to the bottom of what occurred, all before Christmas Day. With the holiday rapidly approaching, will she succeed in bringing Sadie home in time for them to celebrate together—or is that too much to hope for?

  Jack's quest for happiness is thwarted by heartbreak in Book Two of the Portraits in Blue Series 
  As Jack leaps onto the train to Malaga, he has no thought for the responsibilities that await him on the other side of the world. All he knows is that he isn’t ready to leave Sofia, the girl who captured his heart in Paris, nor her talented twin brother, Andres. The twins’ idyllic farm offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean, days spent painting for the Galleria Toulouse, and the enduring charm of Spanish village life. Even so, the trio’s happiness is soon plagued by misunderstandings and complications. Tragedy, heartbreak and declining economic circumstances force Jack and Sofia to leave the life they love and travel across the world to Australia to seek financial security and family connections. There, the heady lure of Melbourne’s art world beckons them and they fall under the spell of the charismatic but dominating Justus Jorgensen. Jack and Sofia enthusiastically embrace the visionary’s dreams. Tirelessly, they commit to the creation of Montsalvat, an art enclave whose buildings are modelled on seventeenth century Europe, where residents live free from the bonds of social conventions. While the bohemian lifestyle of Montsalvat proves stimulating, Jack is increasingly disturbed when a darker side of Jorgensen’s personality emerges. Even utopian dreams have costs. What Jack does not anticipate is that everything he loves will be threatened, with tragic consequences that test his very sanity. 
  The second of the four book Portraits in Blue Series
