4.0

This was a great collection of fun holiday mysteries all tied to The Mysterious Bookshop in NYC. It was full of whimsical stories and more serious stories and all levels of mystery, from murder most foul to a mysterious benefactor. Some of them were gimmicky -- one with characters named after Christmas concepts, such as Vick Zen, one with the most deliberately purple prose crossed with atrocious puns. Some were more serious. All in all, a nice "welcome back to more time to read" excursion for myself.
