Book Description

Worldwide Library Mysteries November 1, 2002
The Christmas Bonus
Allana Martin

When a stranger hands trading post owner Texana Jones a suitcase full of money from a local drug lord, she's caught in a deadly no-man's-land between the feds and drug smugglers in this gripping south-of-the-border holiday mystery . . .

A Merry Little Christmas
Tom Mitcheltree

Everybody in town knew Adam Shipper was a saint -- even his cold-blooded murderer. As a cure for the holiday blues, English professor Paul Fischer does some sleuthing and finds secrets that could just make this Christmas his last.

Holidays Can Be Murder
Connie Shelton

The lights of Albuquerque are aglow for Christmas and Charlie Parker is delighted to have her mother-in-law for the holidays. Charlie's best friend, however, would prefer to find her own mother-in-law dead under the tree. Unfortunately, she gets her wish . . .

Too Many Santas
Elizabeth Gunn

When the department store Santa of Rutherford, Minnesota, goes missing, it's a child's happy shout that calls attention to the red-suited figure just visible within the branches of the Christmas tree. Jake Hines is called to investigate a holiday mystery with too many Santas . . .



Editorial Reviews

From the Author

My novella, Holidays Can Be Murder, contained in this collection, was originally commissioned by my editor at Worldwide Mystery. It was great fun to write, and his only criteria were that the story must feature the characters from my Charlie Parker mystery series and that it be set at Christmas.

When this paperback version of the anthology went out of print, I was able to get my rights back and I republished the novella as a stand-alone book. I'm continually surprised that it sells year-round, not only at the holidays. I guess readers can appreciate a little holiday cheer, no matter what month the calendar shows!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true treat for mystery buffs, November 10, 2002
This review is from: How Still We See Thee Lie (Mass Market Paperback)
How Still We See Thee Lie is a true treat for mystery buffs. Four outstanding writers are anthologized with stories themed to the Christmas holidays -- but well worth reading any time of the year! In Allana Martin's "The Christmas Bonus", a stranger hands Texana Jones a suitcase full of money and she finds herself caught up in a deadly feud between the feds and the drug smugglers. In Tom Mitcheltree's "A Merry Little Christmas", Paul Fischer must do some sleuthing to find out way Adam Shipper, whom the whole town knew to be a good and saintly man, was murdered, or else this could be Paul's last Christmas on Earth! In Connie Shelton's "Holidays Can Be Murder", Charlie Parker has a friend who seemingly wants to find the dead body of her mother-in-law under the Christmas tree... ! In Elizabeth Gunn's "Too Many Santas", Jake Hines is called to investigate the disappearance of a child only to find himself dealing with way to many department store Santas -- one of which is deadly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as riveting as I would have liked..., January 20, 2003
By 
Doris Jean E. SANDELL "doughjean" (New Brunswick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How Still We See Thee Lie (Mass Market Paperback)
It was an all-around good read, but I tend to go easy on short stories b/c they are so hard to write. ButI was honestly hoping for something a little more gripping. These were a little too tame, contrasting with the implications of the stories on the cover art and then synopses on the back.
