Description

Twelve festive crime stories set in the world's oldest mystery specialty bookstore, The Mysterious Bookshop, make for a unique holiday read. For forty-five years, the store has commissioned an original short story as a gift to its customers, set at Christmastime, involving a crime, and taking place at least partially in the store. This year's collection includes a diverse range of tales, each one a holiday-themed escape. From the ingenious "Snowflake Time" to the suspenseful "The Christmas Party", and from the challenging brainteaser "A Christmas Puzzle" to the hilarious "Here We Come A-Wassailing", this volume is a must-have for mystery fans. The stories have been collected and introduced by Otto Penzler, ensuring that readers get the most out of this annual tradition. With its unique blend of festive atmosphere and clever mysteries, this book is a great stocking stuffer for anyone looking for a holiday-themed read.
