As the acknowledged 'Queen of Crime' P.D. James was frequently commissioned by
newspapers and magazines to write a special short story for Christmas. Four of
the very best of these have been rescued from the archives and are published
together in a beautiful hardback edition. P.D. James's sparkling prose
illuminates each of these perfectly formed stories, making them ideal reading
for the darkest days of the year. While she delights in the secrets that lurk
beneath the surface at enforced family gatherings, her Christmas stories also
provide enjoyable puzzles to keep the reader guessing.
From the title story about a strained country house gathering on Christmas Eve,
another about an illicit affair that ends in murder, and two cases for James's
poet-detective Adam Dalgliesh -- each treats the reader to James's masterfully
atmospheric story-telling, always with the lure of a mystery to be solved.
