Title: Christmas Crimes at the Mysterious Bookshop
Author: PENZLER OTTO

A collection of twelve, cosy Christmas-themed crime stories, set in New York’s oldest mystery bookstore, the perfect stocking-filler for fans of cosy and seasonal mysteries.

Twelve festive crime stories set in New York City’s beloved mystery bookstore.

The oldest mystery bookstore in the world, The Mysterious Bookshop, has for most of its forty-five-year history commissioned an original short story as a holiday gift for its customers.

The prompt for each story requires three elements: that it be set at Christmastime, that it involve a mystery, and that it takes place at least partially inside the Mysterious Bookshop.

The dozen tales included in this volume – by celebrated crime fiction authors, such as Laura Lippman, Ragnar Jonasson, and Jeffery Deaver – are among the finest to be produced in this annual tradition, sure to charm any reader looking for a Christmas escape.
