A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries by Martin Edwards
Exceptional fourth anthology of golden age Christmas-themed mysteries--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
A Postman murdered while delivering cards on Christmas morning. A Christmas pine growing over a forgotten homicide. A Yuletide heist gone horribly wrong. When there's as much murder as magic in the air and the facts seem to point to the impossible, it's up to the detective's trained eye to unwrap the clues and neatly tie together an explanation (preferably with a bow on top).
Martin Edwards has once again gathered the best of these seasonal stories into a stellar anthology brimming with rare tales, fresh as fallen snow, and classics from the likes of Julian Symons, Margery Allingham, Anthony Gilbert and Cyril Hare. A most welcome surprise indeed, and perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by the fire on a cold winter's night.
Martin Edwards is an award-winning British lawyer and the author of fourteen previous novels, including the Harry Devlin series set in Liverpool and four critically acclaimed Lake District Mysteries. He's written a number of short stories and curated sixteen anthologies of crime fiction. He is a well-known crime fiction expert who has also written eight non-fiction books. www.martinedwardsbooks.com and www.doyouwriteunderyourownname.blogspot.com/ are his websites and blogs, respectively.
