Murder for Christmas by Thomas Godfrey
5.0
I got this book as a gift last Christmas. It’s a collection of 26 stories: one for each day of Christmas plus a “Boxing Day Bonus.” This year, I read a story a day and enjoyed it very much. Each story was good, I liked basically all of them. I don’t think there was one that I didn’t like, but there were several that stood out as my favorites:
Mr. Big by Woody Allen
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding by Agatha Christie
A Chaparral Christmas Gifty by O. Henry
To Be Taken With A Grain Of Salt by Charles Dickens
The Adventure of the Dauphin’s Doll by Ellery Queen
The Necklace of Pearls by Dorothy L. Sayers
Blind Man’s Hood by Carter Dickson (Probably my absolute favorite out of all of them–it was so well done and creepy)
Christmas Party by Rex Stout (My second favorite; love the Nero Wolfe stories)
Mother’s Milk by James Mines
Overall, I really enjoyed the collection of stories, and I’ll probably re-read a few for Christmas next year.
