Críticas
High marks to Ethel Lina White for giving me the genuine creeps in her yarn about a journalist spending the night in a haunted waxworks and to Nicholas Blake for cramming what must be a record number of cunningly concealed clues into a few pages. --Daily Express
Who better than Martin Edwards, connoisseur of golden-age crime, to put together this collection of Christmas mysteries? ... Of greatest pleasure are stories by authors who have had their moment of fame and are now forgotten. Silent Nights is like a Christmas hamper - packed with delights for every taste. --Daily Mail
It will give a lot of pleasure to many fans of Golden Age crime fiction... We encounter writers who are less celebrated today, but whose stories are absolute crackers... A great selection of unusual crimes and eccentric detectives... Plenty to enjoy here, and a perfect choice for a Christmas present for a vintage crime loving friend or relative. --Shiny New Books
Reseña del editor
Christmas is a mysterious, as well as magical, time of year. Strange things can happen, and this helps to explain the hallowed tradition of telling ghost stories around the fireside as the year draws to a close. Christmas tales of crime and detection have a similar appeal. When television becomes tiresome, and party games pall, the prospect of curling up in the warm with a good mystery is enticing - and much better for the digestion than yet another helping of plum pudding. Crime writers are just as susceptible as readers to the countless attractions of Christmas. Over the years, many distinguished practitioners of the genre have given one or more of their stories a Yuletide setting. The most memorable Christmas mysteries blend a lively storyline with an atmospheric evocation of the season. Getting the mixture right is much harder than it looks.This book introduces readers to some of the finest Christmas detective stories of the past. Martin Edwards' selection blends festive pieces from much-loved authors with one or two stories which are likely to be unfamiliar even to diehard mystery fans. The result is a collection of crime fiction to savour, whatever the season.
