Product Description
Chief Superintendent Wycliffe is not looking forward to Christmas. With his wife away in Kenya, he rashly accepts an invitation from Penzance lawyer Ernest Bishop to spend a few days at the Bishops’ cliff-top home. When Wycliffe arrives, the weather is bleak, the house is remote, and the welcome from the family no more than polite. Then, on Christmas Eve, a young girl goes missing after playing the part of the Virgin in the local nativity play. It’s left to Wycliffe to initiate a search—but what begins as a missing person case soon turns into a major criminal investigation.

Wycliffe-ish to the End

Wycliffe is an old friend and the story is taut to the every end. Burley's books are like an old shoe and easily read on vacation, on a rainy evening or just because you want a good read. But I don't take them to the doctor's office. I'm much too absorbed in them to put them down.
