Weihnachtskrimis. Klassische Erzählungen aus England

The heavy Chinese apple made of jade is an ideal murder weapon; it was used to send the wealthy old lady from across the street to the afterlife. So says the detective, who believes the perpetrator has already fled. But Christmas is known to bring all sorts of delightful surprises. This entertaining volume includes stories by Joseph Shearing (alias Marjorie Bowen), Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Wallace, G. K. Chesterton, and Catherine Louisa Pirkis, which cleverly combine elements of a female Sherlock Holmes. But beware: black ice!

Cozy crime for the Advent season: entertaining, comfortable, but not overly reflective. Here, the stars of the crime genre shine bright: with short stories from cult authors like A.C. Doyle, Marjorie Bowen, Edgar Wallace, G.K. Chesterton, and many more. A reunion and rediscovery of good old crime classics. A perfect gift for St. Nicholas and the Christmas season.
