A Very Murderous Christmas: Ten Classic Crime Stories for the Festive Season by Cecily Gayford

4.0

This is the third of these Cecily Gayford edited collections that I have read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great to reacquaint myself with Campion and Father Brown once more, and I now fully intend to seek out more stories featuring the two, and I loved the Morse short story. The only story that let the collection down was Loopy by Ruth Rendell which was borderline unreadable as you are 'treated' to her at her most wilfully obtuse. Otherwise I thoroughly recommend all three of these excellent books. I look forward to rereading them in December!
