In this gripping anthology, festive cheer masks darker intentions: baffling robberies at country house gatherings, suspicious deaths during family celebrations, and priceless jewels that vanish without trace. Crime, it seems, doesn't stop for Christmas—and neither do the master crime writers who have crafted these tales of intrigue and deception. From Arthur Conan Doyle's keen observation of criminal psychology to Dorothy L. Sayers' wit and puzzle-craft, to G. K. Chesterton's philosophical approach to detection, each story delivers the satisfaction of a mystery solved, albeit with twists that upend expectation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eCurated and introduced by writer Matthew Booth, \u003cem\u003eSecrets in the Snow \u0026amp; Other Christmas Crime Stories\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates the enduring appeal of the classic mystery set against a seasonal backdrop. These tales remind us that the most unsettling element of Christmas crime isn't the snow or the isolation, but the betrayal of trust by those closest to us. Perfect for long winter evenings, this Macmillan Collector's Library edition—bound in real cloth with gilt edges and ribbon marker—is an ideal gift for anyone who believes that a good mystery is the ultimate Christmas pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855367041288,"sku":"9781035051465","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781035051465.jpg?v=1763915932","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/secrets-in-the-snow-other-christmas-crime-stories-by-matthew-booth","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
