4.0
This anthology is a lovely collection on British short story mysteries mostly set in winter or at Christmas time.
The introductions before each story gave some back story on the author and the various societies of mystery writers of the time.
I thoroughly enjoyed almost every story, especially the title story - The Christmas Card Crime - along with By The Sword, âTwixt the Cup and the Lip. and Blind Man's Hood.
*I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and I am required to disclose that in my review in compliance with federal law.*
