Golden Age Christmas Mysteries

Curl up by the fire this Christmas with the masters of cosy and seasonal crime fiction – the perfect stocking-filler for fans of Agatha Christie and the British Library Crime Classics!

A collection of Christmas-themed mysteries, written by some of the greatest Golden Age authors, including Ellery Queen, Mary Roberts Rinehart, John D. MacDonald, and John Dickson Carr, as well as such undiscovered writers as Norvell Page, Meredith Nicholson, and Pat Frank.

The range of subjects and styles may be surprising, ranging from truly chilling to heart-warming to hilarious to puzzling. This is no accident, of course, since genuinely talented authors have their own voices and, like snowflakes, no two are alike. Golden Age Christmas Mysteries is the perfect gift for the season, to be read on a cold, snowy night, in a comfortable chair near a blazing fire.

'For fans of classic detective fiction [.] this anthology offers a mixture of chilling plots, clever puzzles and atmospheric settings' – Crime Fiction Lover
