Description
P. D. James was frequently commissioned by newspapers and magazines to write a short story for Christmas, and four of the best have been drawn from the archives and published here together for the first time.
From the title story about a strained country-house Christmas party, to another about an illicit affair that ends in murder, plus two cases for detective Adam Dalgliesh, these are masterfully atmospheric stories by the acknowledged Queen of Crime.
The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories brings together these captivating tales, showcasing the skill and intrigue that P. D. James fans cherish.
