Murder Under the Christmas Tree: Ten Classic Crime Stories for the Festive Season by Cecily Gayford, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ellis Peters, Margery Allingham

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

Where did I stop reading? 31% in

Why? I’ve now learned that this more “classic” mystery voice is just not something I can take in doses larger than maybe one book a year. I get why people like it, but it’s just not for me. I’m also not a fan of the storytelling style where two people sit around and recount a story instead of the story actively happening. I’ve also learned that Sherlock Holmes is less of a highly intelligent man and more of someone who has the ego to speak confidently about anything, and people will believe him and not question him. Kind of takes the wind out of the sails on a Holmes story when you realize that.
