Sleuthing through the snow, on a merry mysterious day, in disguise we go, investigating all the way . . The title is a bit deceiving as most of the stories are NOT murder mysteries! Just mysteries which is fine but I believed it to be something else, because, you know THE TITLE! Sleuthing through the snow, on a merry mysterious day, in disguise we go, investigating all the way.

With the story about the dancing, I wasn’t sure how I felt about them taking the trophy/swapping it. It just seemed too far for me. I would have rather had them solve the mystery and get things fixed.About Abiola Bello, Annabelle Sami, Benjamin Dean, E. L. Norry, Maisie Chan, Roopa Farooki, Nizrana Farook, Patrice Lawrence, Joanna W This book (physically) is so so so pretty! But the contents were less so and I feel bad even writing this. An exhilarating, awe-inspiring debut from a master storyteller writing for children for the first time, perfect for fans of Philip Pullman, Katherine Rundell and Eva Ibbotson.

Everything about this book - middle grade, murder mystery, diverse authors + Christmas - should have equaled something I would absolutely devour and love, but it just didn't.

About This Edition ISBN: What happens when you moved into a new home and you find a card from the old owner that says ‘I knew they’d kill me at Christmas.’? Well, read it and find out in ‘The Cove(n) at Christmas’, the final story in the book (which is a dream come true – I’ve always wanted to be the final story in an anthology!).

It started off well with Shoe-dunnit (4 stars), went downhill rapidly (It’s snow crime and Beast of Bedleywood 2 1/2 stars), and lost total interest at The Christmas heist (1 star for pathetic characters and plot). Currently I am reading The Christmas Train by David Baldacci and I am looking for my next Christmas story. This one sounds perfect for the last week of December. Porque supongo que la búsqueda de originalidad ha sido en parte uno de los objetivos de este recopilatorio. Y sí que le tengo que conceder el mérito de la gran diversidad que incorpora, ya no solo en temáticas (desde un asesinato en un hotel hasta historias bastante más fantásticas) sino también en tema de razas, orientación sexual, etc. Ese aspecto creo que es muy positivo, sobre todo en un libro para niños.Wow that looks awesome! I loved reading the Crime Club’s Mystery and Mayhem. All the short stories were just as good as full sized ones! Maybe one day, the short stories will be turned into novels…
