Crime for Christmas

Crime for Christmas

Richard Dalby
3.7/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
"Crime for Christmas" is a glorious collection of festive frissons for those who tire of days and nights filled with goodwill...
There are contributions from Thomas Hardy and Arthur Conan Doyle from the Victorian Age; classic murder mysteries from Agatha Christie and Edgar Wallace, and contemporary crimes from Ellis Peters and H.R.F. Keating. Of particular note is Wilkie Collins' "Mr Wray's Cash Box", reprinted for the first time since it was originally published in 1852.
Only at Christmastide could Sherlock Holmes discover the connection between a missing goose and a jewellery robbery; only Miss Marple could follow so convoluted a murder trail as that which baffles the police at the Keston Spa Hydro; only H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune could possibly uncover the murderer who so brutally disrupted the children's home annual party.

Includes:
Ellis Peters "The Trinity Cat"
Raymund Allen "A Happy Solution"
Arthur Conan Doyle "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle"
H.R.F. Keating "An Upright Woman"
Christopher Hallam "A Book for Christmas"
Lennox Robinson "A Pair of Muddy Shoes"
H.C. Bailey "The Unknown Murderer"
Edgar Wallace "The Buoy That Did Not Light"
Agatha Christie "A Christmas Tragedy"
