I thought this was stronger than the first - a little more cohesive and the supporting characters more interesting. A quick, enjoyable mystery.

Enjoyable murder mystery with the likeable amateur sleuth John Christmas and his sciency sidekick Sydenham Rampson. I'm sorry there aren't more of these, they have good characterisation and a gleeful reliance on melodramatic plot twists which help the unpredictability. A laugh.
