The Big Book Of Christmas Mysteries by Otto Penzler

A festive anthology of mystery and suspense set around the holidays, collecting a wide range of short stories that blend cozy, noir, and classic whodunit elements against wintery backdrops; each tale uses the season’s traditions and tensions—gift-giving, family reunions, snowbound roads, candlelit gatherings—to heighten intrigue and deliver twisty, often darkly comic resolutions, making the collection a varied and entertaining read for fans of holiday-flavored crime fiction.
