A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries by Martin Edwards

3.5

these were lots of fun and very varied - this might be my favourite collection of the christmas / winter themed crime short stories. the variation in the length of the stories kept them feeling more dynamic and helped keep up a pace while reading.

favourite stories: 'the whole in the wall' by g.k. chesterton, 'death on the air' by ngaio marsh, 'persons or things unknown' by carter dickson (my absolute favourite), 'dead man's hand' by e.r. punshon and 'the turn-again bell' by barry perowne
