Twelve festive crime stories set in New York City’s beloved mystery bookstore. 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 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. ‘A must for every mystery lover’s wish list’ Kirkus ‘Something to please every reader this holiday season’ Wall Street Journa
