A lovely, mostly lighthearted, seasonal read. Thank you for lending it to me, Brendan.

An enjoyable collection of Christmas crime stories (mostly murders).

Some of the best were 'The Adventure of the Christmas pudding' by Agatha Christie, 'Death on Air' by Ngaio Marsh, 'Operation Christmas' by Tim Heald and 'Three-dot Po' by Sara Paretsky.

But my two favourites were 'The Mistletoe Murder' by P D James and 'The Proof of the Pudding' by Peter Lovesey.

Overall, a delightful collection of stories spanning the late nineteen and twentieth centuries.

3.5 stars (as always, you can't love all of them!)
