I liked all but one selection (the Sherlock Holmes spoof). The other stories I found highly original and absorbing.There are murderous carolers, jewel thieves, and relatives bent on murder... The investigators include inspired amateurs and clever professionals. The victims are diverse, from a nasty swindler to a sweet old lady. Yuletide atmosphere abounds.One story entertained me so much that I see it as a compelling reason to buy the book. Death in December is long enough to be a novella rather than a short story, and it even has chapters. The setting is a snowbound ancestral castle full of convivial Christmas guests. The castle has a ghost and a haunted room that's been locked for a hundred years. One of the guests is a grumpy, morose, ant-social Scotland Yard man who gets to the heart of the ghostly doings.As always with these collections edited by Martin Edwards, I appreciated the informative author biographies. The majority of the writers were members of the Detection Club, the first social network for crime writers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Variety of Winter-Time Mysteries *by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017* Christmas Season themed mysteries! What's not to like?! However, this mystery anthology has only 11 stories, which makes it meager compared to paperbound anthologies I've purchased. But some of these stories have some great writing. The "Crimson Snow" anthology is part of the British Library Crime Classics series. If you've read another of its anthologies,  Silent Nights (British Library Crime Classics) , the only author who is also collected in the Silent Night set is Margery Allingham (though with a different story).The editor, Martin Edwards, gives a nice introduction to each author, with interesting information. One of the stories, "Mr. Cork's Secret" by MacDonald Hastings, "was published in the form of a Christmas prize competition. It appeared in the December issue of the monthly magazine "Lilliput," and the solution was printed several months later after all the entries had been judged. The prize winners proved themselves to be excellent detectives, and readers of this book will have the chance to emulate their success: the solution to Hasting's conundrum appears at the end of this book."Here's an image I loved from "Mr. Cork's Secret":"The salty wind came up to meet them with an enquiring, penetrating lick."I have a soft spot for Sherlockian parodies and pastiches. S.C. Roberts offers one such for this book, "Christmas Eve". As it happens, he actually played golf once with Arthur Conan Doyle. Maybe it helped his story.All in all, a nice set of mystery short stories., 4.4 stars rounded down to 4.Happy Reader ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent collection of short stories *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021* This is my favorite of the Christmas books I ordered for myself this year. The collection contains short stories by famous British writers. While I knew many of the writers, I was delighted to find new ones I hadn't known before; I will now seek out everything they've written. The stories are set from the mid-1930s with a few wandering into the 1940s and 1950s. Every story is preceded by a brief introduction to its author written by book editor Martin Edwards. The book is one of the British Library Crime Classics. I highly recommend it and will read it again during the 2021 holidays. If you like period British mysteries, I can promise you that you will love this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/66517268-crimson-snow-winter-mysteries-british-library-crime-classics-paperback-january](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/66517268-crimson-snow-winter-mysteries-british-library-crime-classics-paperback-january) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
