Requirements: ePUB reader, 3.2Mb
Overview:"… Hence Crime at Christmas, a Box of Murderous (and other) Delights to take your mind off the rigours of the festive season. Here are eighteen short stories and no old sweats—absolutely no stories which, however excellent, you must have read a score or more times before. Most have never appeared in book-form and two, by British crime writer James Melville and American suspense-writer Bill Pronzini, have been written especially for this anthology.
There are tales of tension, tales of brain-racking ingenuity; grim tales, comic tales, atmospheric tales, undeniably acidic tales, tales with twists to their tails. There is a puzzle-story to ponder over, perhaps while cracking nuts beside the fire. There’s even a recipe (and a very good one too; and from a surprising source). And all illustrated in fine style by Brian Denington…"
