Description

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Christmas is not always the season of goodwill. As this hugely entertaining collection shows, it can also be the season of mysterious deaths, hidden poison bottles and blunt instruments... The stories in Classic Christmas Crime Stories have been selected and introduced by writer David Stuart Davies. This collection of ten stories from the golden age of British crime writing features festive whodunits by Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. There are unexplained deaths by all manner of suspect means from famous writers such as Baroness Orczy and Marjorie Bowen, and dastardly Christmas crimes to be solved from esteemed crime writers such as Robert Barnard, Nicholas Olde and H. R. F. Keating. Each story is brilliantly plotted – some deliciously tense, others laced with humor – and each is bound to thoroughly entertain. Read more

  • Fun mix of festive mysteries
There's something about the bustle and chaos of the lead-up to Christmas that makes me crave the restoration of order that a good mystery provides. This collection of festive mysteries and other crime stories was just what I wanted to read in the middle of December! There are eleven short stories here, ranging from very familiar Christmas mysteries like "The Blue Carbuncle" by A. Conan Doyle to story featuring the characters from the BBC show Rosemary and Thyme. I enjoyed nearly all of the stories ("The Case of the Seven Santas" by H. R. F. Keating got really tedious after a while, for me). My favorites, in the order in which they appear, were: "The Blue Carbuncle" by A. Conan Doyle (already one of my absolute favorite Sherlock Holmes short stories) "The Case of the Dead Wait" by Peter Lovesey "Markheim" by Robert Louis Stevenson "Death on the Air" by Ngaio Marsh "Stuffing" by Edgar Wallace ... show more
