The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries Bewertungen

'One of the joys of the collection is how many are delightfully funny ... Note that many of these stories turn on simple theft, of diamonds or candlesticks or a lottery ticket; they hark back to simpler days before the modern thriller began to provide endless serial killers and ax murderers for our edification ... Anyone who cares about the best mystery writing of the past century and beyond would be lucky to receive this thick volume during the holidays' * Washington Post *
'Some famous names appear, as do quite a few writers unknown or unjustly forgotten and there are many gems. This is not a literary meal to be consumed too quickly. A diet of four stories a day is suggested' * The Times, Books of the Year *
'What better Christmas gift for crime fiction addicts than this mighty tome ... hugely enjoyable seasonal stories ... guaranteed terrifying as well as holy nights' * Irish Independent *
It should keep thriller fans entertained well into the New Year' * Herald, The Year's Best Books for Gifts *
'There's something for every festive mood in this must-read collection ... This is the best Christmas crime anthology in print today' * Urban Fox *
'A great book to keep you company on those drawn out winter evenings ... Full of tales that are especially worthy of reading aloud' * This England *
