OK, I confess, I'm from Maine. Not your typical kudzu country. Trust me. Maine's growing season is approximately 45 minutes. But I saw the Introduction was written by the wonderously talented Julia Spencer-Fleming, one of my very favorite authors, so I picked it up. WOW! No spoilers here, but a terrific mix of stories. Some big-name authors, and some newbies; Some suspense and some more hard-core stuff. And all GREAT! There have to be at least two award winners in this bunch. This is about the best holiday gift I can think of for one's mother, especially if she lives south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

A book of stories that you will want to send the mystery readers on your list. Tales about family set in the season for family.
A collection that includes a story about a vampire who bring his lover to meet the family, a little boy who goes around telling other children there's no Santa Claus, and a little girl who makes wishes. Visit the past with a old woman who remembers when girls didn't use bad language.
A set of well written stories by talented authors put together by editors who ably pick stories to keep you happily reading. You'll remember what the season means and want to sit cozily ensconced in your favorite chair by the fire to read this fun collection.
Recommended as a great Christmas present. Enjoy. I did.
