Christmas is not always the season of goodwill. As this hugely entertaining collection shows, it can also be the season of mysterious deaths, hidden poison bottles and blunt instruments.

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. The stories in Classic Christmas Crime Stories have been selected and introduced by writer David Stuart Davies.

This collection of eleven stories from the Golden Age of British crime writing features festive whodunnits by Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. There are unexplained deaths by all manner of suspect means from famous writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Marjorie Bowen, and dastardly Christmas crimes to be solved from esteemed crime writers such as Robert Barnard, Nicholas Olde and H. R. F. Keating. Each story is brilliantly plotted – some deliciously tense, others laced with humour – and each is bound to thoroughly entertain.

David Stuart Davies is the prolific author of numerous novels, plays and non-fiction books, and he has contributed to many short story anthologies. An expert on Sherlock Holmes, he’s an invested member of the Baker Street Irregulars and a member of The Detection Club. For twenty years he was the editor of the Crime Writers’ Association’s monthly publication Red Herrings. He has a series of Golden Age mysteries featuring private detective Rupert Wilde, the first of which is The Dead of Winter.
