Christmas Stalkings Tales of Yuletide Murder LARGE PRINT Author:Collected by Charlotte MacLeod When the days grow short and cold weather forces cranky people together in cramped quarters, certain persons often turn to thoughts of gettin rid of all the other people and having the fireside to themselves. When it becomes necessary to deplte teh bank accounts through the purchae of gifts for disliked neighbors, despised employers, and thoroug... more »hly hated relatives, certain persons contemplate purchasing instead large economy-sized 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 aunt - could be suddenly electrocuted by the Christmas tree, how much more jolly things could be!
The certain persons spoken of in the preceding paragraphs 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 are 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.« less
