Blurb: “When the days grow short and cold weather forces cranky people together in cramped quarters, certain persons often contemplate getting rid of all the other people and having the firesides to themselves.
While bankrupting themselves buying gifts for disliked neighbors, despised employers, and thoroughly hated relatives, certain persons consider purchasing instead large economy-size packages of arsenic.
The enforced gaiety of the Yuletide season only strengthens the belief (again, of certain persons) that if only the wife-husband, mother-in-law, doddering uncle-could be suddenly electrocuted by the Christmas tree, how much more jolly things could be!
These certain people are, of course, mystery writers.
Luckily for the rest of us, their homicidal urges have been channeled into the creation of delightful fictions.
CHRISTMAS STALKINGS is a baker's dozen of new stories of Yuletide murder by some of the best mystery writers working today —among them Elizabeth Peters, Robert Barnard, Reginald Hill, Dorothy Cannell, Patricia Moyes, Margaret Maron, Evelyn Smith, Mickey Friedman, Eric Wright, John Malcolm, Medora Sale, Bill Crider... and Charlotte MacLeod herself.
"A fine gift for any mystery fan, a package of holiday goodies you can devour without giving a thought to calories." —UPI”
