Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

These 13 original mysteries (first published in Great Britain in 1995) cluster around the theme of Christmas, but they differ widely in venue, atmosphere, motive, and type of murder. Most of the contributors to A Classic English Crime (1990) are also represented here. Welcome reading for Christmas or any time.
