Read the full description
The oldest mystery bookstore in the world, The Mysterious Bookshop, has for most of its forty-five-year history commissioned an original short story as a holiday gift for its customers.
The prompt for each story requires three elements: that it be set at Christmastime, that it involve a mystery, and that it takes place at least partially inside the Mysterious Bookshop.
The dozen tales included in this volume – by celebrated crime fiction authors, such as Laura Lippman, Ragnar Jonasson, and Jeffery Deaver – are among the finest to be produced in this annual tradition, sure to charm any reader looking for a Christmas escape.
Sold by Station Books, an independent bookshop in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Posted anywhere in the UK, or collected over the counter.
