Midwinter Murder: Fireside Tales from the Queen of Mystery

Midwinter Murder is the perfect anthology of stories by Agatha Christie for the run up to the Winter Solstice. One can perfectly picture the characters as they sit around roaring fires, or sit down to demolish a Christmas feast.

All of Christie's beloved characters are here; Hercule Poirot and his sidekick Hastings, Tommy and Tuppence, Miss Marple, Mr. Sattertwaithe and the enigmatic Mr. Quin, and Parker Pine.

I was going to treat this as an advent calendar, reading one story a day, but I gave up on that idea after the first story because I enjoyed it so much.

All in all this is the perfect book for lovers of cosy mysteries and reading by the fireside.
