I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Elderly widow Sabine knows this will be her last Christmas in her beloved home, Mitras Castle. Determined to make it just like the ones she remembers from her childhood, she employs Dido Jones of Heavenly Houseparties to help with the big day.

Dido is enchanted by the castle as soon as she steps through the imposing front door. And as Christmas day approaches, her feeling of connection to the old house runs deeper than she first thought. But when the snow begins to fall and Sabine's family arrive at the house - including Dido's teenage crush Xan - tensions rise around the castle's future and long-buried mysteries begin to unravel...

This book took me days to get through as I really struggled to get into it. This book could have been much shorter which would have made it far more enjoyable. Usually I enjoy Trisha's books so I was very surprised at by this one. Full of Christmas spirit - this book will help you get in the festive mood.

Personally I felt there were too many characters to keep track of and the plot was just lacking some pace.
