Every one of the great detectives of literature, from Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot to Nero Wolfe, has endured a holiday marred by murder. Now, modern mystery writers including Mary Higgins Clark, Marcia Muller, Aaron Elkins, and others place their detectives in a Yuletide setting for a special mix of murder and mistletoe.
An excellent sampler of modern (and not-so-modern) mystery writers, this book is a bit uneven in quality but generally lives up to its pedigree. The stories by Muller and Asimov shine. This collection is perfect if your Christmas is not complete without a little bloodshed.
