Murder most festive: a selection of puzzling Christmas mysteries from the creme de la creme of crime writers.
A
murderer who materialises in a field of snow, leaving no footprints. Blackmail
on Christmas Eve. A missing jewel discovered in a very festive hiding place. A
body slumped in a chair on Christmas morning, still listening to carols. The
midnight theft of a gift intended for a saint.
Crime doesn't take a holiday, so these - and
many more - are the puzzles that make up Murder under the Christmas Tree, a
collection of festive mysteries featuring fictional sleuths from Miss Marple to
Sherlock Holmes, Cadfael to Father Brown. This is the very best of Christmas
murder and mayhem - so settle into your armchair, put another log on the fire
and take a bite of your mince pie. Just make sure it's not poisoned...
Featuring Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie,
Ngiao Marsh, Ellis Peters and many more.Profile Books - Paperback - $22.99
