New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry’s twentieth heart-warming Christmas mystery.

The festive season is fast approaching, and Dr Crowe and his young apprentice Scuff are busy, as always, tending London’s sick and wounded. This year, however, Crowe is increasingly distracted by memories of a former patient, Eliza Hollister, for whom he cared deeply.

When Crowe sees Ellie being bullied by her domineering fiancé in the street, he is convinced that she is marrying a man she doesn’t love, and he is determined to find out why. While Crowe starts his investigations, Scuff is left to run the clinic – with a little help from a rather unexpected source. Forced to enter a dangerous world of blackmail and deception, will Crowe manage to reveal the truth before the bells ring out for Christmas?

A Christmas Deliverance is a heart-warming festive mystery set in Victorian London from the pen of the New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.
