Murder Under the Christmas Tree: Ten Classic Crime Stories for the Festive Seaso

£7.99

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.

And along the way, there’ll be enough carols and Christmas pudding, mistletoe and mulled wine, to warm the heart of a stone-cold killer … perhaps.
