A collection of little Christmas-themed mystery stories. Some are more pleasing than others, but none of them are outstanding.
I had this in my to-be-read pile last Christmas, and I never got around to it. This is a collection of Christmas stories by various authors. Since I do appreciate the ability to read a quick, short story now and then, especially if it contains an element of mystery and a bit of mayhem, I looked forward to reading it. They are short, so you can read one in less than an hour. Unlike a lot of longer books, there are fewer characters, so you don’t get confused by what their purpose is, and for the most part, you can get a feel for what they are like.
The stories ranged from very good to ok, so I’m giving the book and average rating of 3 stars.
The story was interesting, but didn't have the same charm as the full-length books. The twist at the end was different
What a fabulous collection of short stories by some of greatest short story authors - love this book to bits!
This is an anthology of holiday themed stories from several different authors. Nice length that most could be read right before bedtime ( unless you tend to fall asleep when reading)
All sorts of fun, funny & enjoyable types of holiday mayhem to be found in this collection of holiday mysteries. I like anthologies for several reasons, main reason is to hopefully read stories from new authors I've not yet heard of, or just haven't had the pleasure of discovering yet. This anthology had all new authors, for me. Some I will definitely look forward to reading more from them in future
12 days of Christmas holiday mysteries & mayhem which I found to be delightful
Definitely would recommend this collection to all readers esp. during the holiday season. If you're not in the holiday spirit, I believe these stories will help you start feeling the season. Also great for breaking up any holiday stresses of shopping, wrapping nicely, & seeing family during this time. Also recommend buying this for a reader on your gift giving list, I'm sure they'll enjoy it too
Many thanks to Open Road Integrated Media & Net Galley for allowing me to read this book & to review. In return, I've given an honest review of these stories ( book, in general)
I am glad that Open Road is publishing this as an ebook. This is a nice collection of short stories with crime, murder and mayhem that needs to be resolved so that Christmas can be enjoyed by most. Charlotte MacLeod has gathered an interesting collection of stories by a variety of authors that make this reader want more. More stories, and more time to retread old tales. I am looking forward to similar collections in the new year!
