Eleanor Luhar (47 KP) rated Murder Under the Christmas Tree: Ten Classic Crime Stories for the Festive Season in Books

Jun 24, 2019

This is the third and final book I was given for Christmas, another collection of classic crime stories. It's similar to Murder On Christmas Eve, so I'm not going to write too much in this review. Out of the two, though, this is my favourite collection.

The stories in this collection are, for the most part, very good. The last couple weren't as engaging, but there's always going to be one or two you don't like. This collection even includes a tale about Sherlock Holmes (and Watson, of course) bt Arthur Conan Doyle himself. It was actually the first I've read of his work, and it was definitely as fantastic as I'd hoped.

Like the other book, the ten stories very from missing jewels hidden inside geese, to missing candle sticks, to death-by-radio. They're all very interesting mysteries, again seemingly simple on the surface but always a lot more incricate than they seem.

A nice collection of classic "festive" crimes. 3.5 stars.

Interesting True crime drama

A good drama based on a true story. A detective makes a decision to try and find a missing girl that will have repercussions for the case. The first few episodes were good as the police do the detective work to try and find a missing girl. They establish a suspect and try their best to find out where she is and what happened to her. The latter episodes deal with the court case and legal disputes over certain evidence. The beginning is like many other crime dramas, very tense trying to find a suspect and build up evidence. However the 2nd half of the series is bogged down by the legal red tape over the law of questioning suspects. Hard to believe that the law still hasn't been changed yet around this ruling. It is more interesting as it's a true crime drama though.

I sold my soul for a sitcom
By C. Guyer

Name – Kendyl OwensAge- 23 Occupation – Super spy/Malcolm in the Middle Fan-Club president Dislikes – Baddies, people that don’t like Malcolm in the Middle, Brussel sprouts.Hobbies – Watching Malcolm in the Middle, catching baddies, despising speed-dating.***There’s been a rash of young girls going missing in a little town a few miles away. The cops have no leads, no evidence, and no bodies. The only thing they know is that the girls all went missing at a hole in the wall bar that caters to the supernatural. With nothing else to go on, the locals do the only thing they can.They call Bump in the Night Investigations. And I get the case.

Ok so as short as this was it was so well written! The main character is funny and witty! I really would love to see a series of this as it left me wanting so much more!!
