MURDER FOR CHRISTMAS

Who knows what another person's  life is really like? It's the chief reason I love mystery. Seeing justice served is all very well, but what I'm really interested in is peering under the hood of my fellow human's life and seeing the inner workings of an outwardly perfect life. And it's never Norman Rockwell, baby.

Get home from December gridlock traffic, the endless shopping and errand running and curl up to a Christmas murder.







Here's some of my favorites:
Murder for Christmas,  by Agatha Christie
The Shortest Day, by Jane Langton
Death of a Fool, by Ngaio Marsh
Mistletoe Mayhem, edited by Richard Dalby
Holmes for the Holidays, edited by Martin H Greenberg, 
         J Lellenberg and Carol Waugh
