I have mixed feelings about this book.
It was clearly written and compiled with diversity at the forefront, and I completely understand that all children need to see themselves represented in the books they read. Unfortunately, however, I feel that quality has been sacrificed in the process.
The stories are mixed - some are fun and gripping, others are a bit dull. There's not really enough mystery in my opinion, and definitely not enough murder - the title is pretty misleading.
That said, it's a fun festive read and I fully support the mission behind it.

This is a great read for the Christmas season, theres some great stories.
Stand outs for me were Shoe-Dunnit, The FrostWilds and Ice and Fire.
I would have loved extended stories for some of these. Others were not quite for me, but that's to be expected with short stories.
