Death Comes at Christmas is a fantastic collection of 18 crime fiction stories set at Christmas time.
I enjoyed all of them, some more than others.
The mysteries were great, with some that have more creep factor than others.
If you're a fan of short stories and mysteries, this Christmas Crime Collection is for you!
I will say my favorite was by J.T. Ellison.

Highly recommend!

18 fabulous reads in one book is always my fav kind of book.

I was going to save this and read it as an advent.. oneaday for the month of December, but there are some good authors who have contributed so I read it at night before bed..

There are a few exceptional tales, but readers who enjoy an whodunit or just a good mystery then this book will satisfy the reader..

I had a few favourites but I enjoyed this book immensely..

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Death Comes at Christmas.

I'm wary of short story collections because usually I only end up liking a few stories, or just one or two but Death Comes at Christmas was a surprise. In a good way.

I'm happy to say I enjoyed most of the short stories (a couple weren't great, but didn't detract from the rest), especially how they centered around regular, relatable people who were either intent on solving the mystery or committing the murder.

This was a festive and fun compilation featuring murder and mayhem during the Christmas season.

Because don't some people feel murder-y when you have to spend time with your annoying family during the holidays? 🧑‍🎄🔪

This is a short story collection that was overall pretty good. Some stories were a little boring but still enjoyable. This book is best read with a glass of warm mulled cider and a cozy blanket!

I usually find it difficult to rate a short story collection because some may be 5 star reads while others feel mediocre at best. But I found myself flying through these stories and really having a fun time with each one. We had a lot of twisty endings that were great and most were quite eerie. This collection is for those that love a little Halloween vibe to go along with their Christmas cheer.

Thank you to the publisher for the free copy in exchange for my honest review.
