A review by helenephoebe
The Santa Klaus Murder by Mavis Doriel Hay

4.0

Review - I actually really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was well-written, though it did take me a while to get into it. I began to enjoy it much more once the murder had happened and was being investigated, rather than the opening chapters detailing what happened in the days leading up to it. I really enjoyed the very different characters and how they acted as foils against one another; it was quite clever and I look forward to reading more of the British Library crime classics.
