A Very Murderous Christmas

Very enjoyable collection! I read this after feeling a bit down about Christmas and it cheered me right up. Not sure what that says about me that mysteries that sometimes feature murder can cheer me up but here we are.

The first story ‘The Man with the Sack' by Margery Allingham is a particular favourite as well as ‘A Problem in White' by Nicholas Blake, ‘Loopy' by Ruth Rendell, and ‘Rumpole and the Old Familiar Faces' by John Mortimer.

I'll be looking up Margery Allingham's other work after this as I really enjoyed the entire story from top to bottom. Being drawn into a regency era type story with a mystery set in England at Christmastime was just what I needed.

A Very Murderous Christmas is an enjoyable collection of short crime stories set during the festive season.
Not all of the stories feature murders, some centre around burglaries.
Authors include Ruth Rendell, G.K Chesterton, Anthony Horowitz and Marjory Allingham, to name but a few.
A Very Murderous Christmas is perfect, cosy Christmas reading.
