This compelling collection of short stories artfully weaves together the spirit of the season with the thrill of mystery, highlighting the darker side of holiday cheer.

The Plot

Each tale unravels a unique mystery, from the enigmatic death of Father Christmas to other chilling enigmas that unfold during the winter months. The stories blend traditional elements of the whodunit genre with seasonal motifs. Each puzzle is set to muddle, befuddle, surprise and delight the classic crime fiction fan.

Themes

At its core, this collection sets the joy of the season against the darker motives that drive classic crime fiction.

Writing Style

The stories are both accessible and engaging, easy to read while still rich in detail and atmosphere, with vivid descriptions and well-paced plots that keep readers guessing until the final reveal. Fans of classic mystery authors such as Agatha Christie or contemporary works by the likes of Louise Penny will find much to enjoy in this collection.

“Edwards’ fifth collection of 20th-century Christmas mysteries inevitably includes fewer familiar names and more discoveries.” – Kirkus Reviews

In Who Killed Father Christmas?, this British Library Crime Classics anthology proves that the season of goodwill can hide secrets that are as dark as a winter's night.
