Not a new book, but at three years old, it's still newish. Set in England in the very late 1800s, it's technically part of Charles' Lilywhite Boys series. But, really, it could also be lumped in with her collection of "Worst. House party. EVER!" books (along with Proper English, Think of England, and All of us Murderers).
It's giving Agatha Christie/Hercule Poirot and is another delightful read. Like the other books mentioned above, it does very well on its own. However, you miss soooo many of the inside jokes if you haven't read the other Lilywhite Boys books first. There aren't that many of them. Suck it up and read the other three first.
Barnaby has secured a job running the extravagant traditional Christmas at a rich man’s country house. John intends to thwart whatever he’s up to.
But amid the festivity, the halls are decked with unexpected dangers. And John will need to decide if he can trust Barnaby one more time…
A standalone m/m romance novella (30,000 words), set in the world of the Lilywhite Boys, four years after Gilded Cage.
“The perfect Christmas novella for those of us who prefer our seasonal tales to have a bit of zing and bite. It’s sharp, it’s funny, it’s devoid of religion and sentimentality, and it’s just the ticket for a cold winter’s afternoon. Enjoy!”–All About Romance
