Val McDermid is a master of the dark and sinister story, and these powers are in full force in Christmas is Murder, a festive collection of chilling tales.

From an irresponsible baron whose body is discovered beneath a silver birch tree, to a classic detective duo solving a historic case as the lights go out across Europe, and an exclusive Tony Hill and Carol Jordan story, the characters McDermid conjures are enigmatic and dangerous.

These evocative, atmospheric tales will shock and delight. This is the perfect book to curl up with as the frosty winter draws in and each night gets darker than the last, written by one of our greatest living crime writers.©2020 Val McDermid (P)2023 W.F.Howes Ltd Anthologies & Short Stories Crime Fiction Genre Fiction Holidays Mystery Short Stories Thriller & Suspense Crime Fiction Winter Christmas Suspense Murder

What a good short story writer Val McDermid is. Very satisfying well rounded stories. I’m not a massive fan of her books so I was surprised. Very well narrated.

Excellent short stories

These stories are very basic storylines and very short in length. Not a fan at all

Varied collection of great short stories from the excellent Val McDermid. Shame about the section with Keeble, but the other narrators were fabulous

don't care for Jonathan Keeble

Not really Christmas themed and varying quality. The accents of English northerners not great either so that didn’t help.

The titles were not as gripping as usual. The narrator's performance in some titles were flat and hard to understand. I feel I have wasted a credit on this book. It may be more enjoyable to read as not all the narrators are natural and interesting to hear. Performance spoilt it for me.
