Description
Christmas is not always the season of goodwill. In fact, it can be a time of mysterious deaths, hidden poison bottles, and blunt instruments. This collection of ten stories from the golden age of British crime writing brings a darker side to the festive season. Selected and introduced by writer David Stuart Davies, Classic Christmas Crime Stories features a range of festive whodunits, including works by Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. Each story is brilliantly plotted, with some deliciously tense and others laced with humor. From unexplained deaths by all manner of suspect means to dastardly Christmas crimes to be solved, this collection is bound to thoroughly entertain. With its beautifully bound cover and high-quality paper, this Macmillan Collector's Library edition is a book to love and treasure.
