The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries by Otto Penzler Book Summary

The most complete collection of Yuletide whodunits ever assembled • The Edgar Award-winning editor collects sixty of his all-time favorite holiday crime stories—from Arthur Conan Doyle and Thomas Hardy to Sara Paretsky and Ed McBain.

“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." —The Washington Post

This collection touches on all aspects of the holiday season, and all types of mysteries. They are suspenseful, funny, frightening, and poignant.

Henry-like stories by Stanley Ellin and Joseph Shearing, stories by pulp icons John D. MacDonald and Damon Runyon; comic gems from Donald E. Westlake and John Mortimer; and many, many more.

Good, could be better. This is a comprehensive collection of Christmas mysteries with authors varying from the classical (Stevenson, Christie) to lesser known writers. It is obvious that a lot of work was done in compiling them. The Sherlock-related tales were consistently clever. There is misleading & incomplete info about Socialism in the Chesterton story. No, the difference between them & capitalists is NOT that socialists want workers to be paid. Capitalism not only provides salaries but also money for tuition, opportunities to earn more if the person takes advantage of educational opportunities etc. No wonder some people are misled. The best way to discover the truth about living under Socialism, is to talk to a Venezuelan immigrant.

Christmas mysteries. Loved it! Great variety of stories and delight to read.
