Murder on Christmas Eve: Classic Mysteries for the Festive Season by Ian Rankin, G.K. Chesterton, Cecily Gayford, Lawrence Block, Margery Allingham, Julian Symons, Val McDermid, Ellis Peters, Michael Innes, Marjorie Bowen, John Dickson Carr

3.0

This is a collection of 10 crime mysteries, from various authors, set at Christmas time. There are some really interesting short stories in this book. My favourites were The Trinity Cat, The Santa Claus Club and A Wife in a Million. As with other collections this one ended up being a really quick read. As each story is between 10 and 20 pages, so it’s easy to read one on the morning commute. Which I like. There’s something poetic about starting and completing a story during the same train journey.
