Golden Age Christmas Mysteries TC_Bestseller and a delightful illustration byEdgar Award winning anthologist Otto Penzler selects Christmas themed mysteries from the American authors active during the genre's Golden Age, including stories by Mary Roberts Rinehart, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen, and more. Christmas has served as a fertile background for mystery fiction for a very long time, perhaps because it has the appearance of a time of peace and love while being so deeply at odds with violence, crime, and even murder.
