A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries
A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries | Martin Edwards
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A Postman murdered while delivering cards on Christmas morning. A Christmas pine growing over a forgotten homicide. A Yuletide heist gone horribly wrong. When there's as much murder as magic in the air and the facts seem to point to the impossible, it's up to the detective's trained eye to unwrap the clues and neatly tie together an explanation (preferably with a bow on top). Martin Edwards has once again gathered the best of these seasonal stories into a stellar anthology brimming with rare tales, fresh as fallen snow, and classics from the likes of Julian Symons, Margery Allingham, Anthony Gilbert and Cyril Hare. A most welcome surprise indeed, and perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by the fire on a cold winter's night.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

And now Charlie‘s laying ON my lap. Tune in tomorrow, by which time she‘ll probably be sitting on my head.
I love the British Library Crime Classics seasonal mysteries. I think this is the 3rd collection of holiday short stories.

I do enjoy short-form mystery stories from Golden Age writers, but this collection is not well-balanced. There are some great stories and some duds.
