Murder Under the Mistletoe and Other Stories (1992) Anthology by Cynthia Manson (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.65Mb
Overview: Murder Under the Mistletoe is the third in a popular series of books presenting tales of crime and detection in which Christmas settings play a significant role. The stories were selected from the archives of the world’s leading mystery magazines, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.
This book’s two predecessors are Mystery for Christmas and Murder at Christmas, but one need not have read either of the earlier books to enjoy this latest anthology.
In this collection we have a splendid lineup of authors and their well-known series detectives, including favorites like Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey, Joyce Porter’s Hon. Constance Morrison-Burke, and Margery Allingham’s Albert Campion. For lovers of the classics, there is also a Christmas offering from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring the incomparable Sherlock Holmes.
Special attention is due, we think, to three stories that capture the spirit of Christmas with great poignancy and intertwine it expertly with mystery and intrigue: “The Carol Singers” by Josephine Bell, “Supper With Miss Shivers” by Peter Lovesey, and “Noel, Noel” by Barry Perowne. We love all the stories that follow, but these three have a special place in our hearts—we hope they find one in yours as well.
