The Christmas Card Crime

And Other Stories

By: Martin Edwards

Narrated by: Gordon Griffin, Anne Dover

A Christmas party is punctuated by a gunshot under a policeman’s watchful eye. A jewel heist is planned amidst the glitz and glamour of Oxford Street’s Christmas shopping. And lost in a snowstorm, a man finds a motive for murder....

This collection of mysteries explores the darker side of the festive season, from unexplained disturbances in the fresh snow to the darkness that lurks beneath the sparkling decorations. With neglected stories by John Bude and E. C. R. Lorac, as well as tales by little-known writers of crime fiction, Martin Edwards blends the cosy atmosphere of the fireside story with a chill to match the temperature outside. This is a gripping seasonal collection sure to delight mystery fans.

liked this little collection of stories and especially liked the informative narrative before each story about the authors.I plan to find some of the authors books to read! Fun!

Delightful Collection of Christmas Mysteries

This is the third compilation of Christmas short stories in the British Crime Classics series. There is a nice mix of humorous stories and slightly darker ones. My favorites were the titular “The Christmas Card Crime” and “The Motive.” The narrators are outstanding, although Anne Dover only narrates the first story. Highly recommended!

Aahhh... Just The Right Blend Of Mystery, Murder And Christmas.!!

If you’re looking for Christmas season Cozy mystery thrillers,.. then this is the audiobook for you..!!

Crimes @ Christmas

I really like short stories and Stories about the holiday season and Martin Walker is a great author so my expectations were high. No disappointment here because he also displayed his talent as an editor. All of the stories were good, some were great. No story in this book should have been left out, I read the whole book. I enjoyed getting to read authors from the early detective & mystery stories. I have some new favorites just from this book that I must seek out more of their work. Reading a bit of history & background about the author was a good idea. The book is easily recommended. I also like the cover.
