i'm still undecided if i like closed-door whodunits. i felt like the author could've captured the claustrophobia of family drama a little better, but this was overall good
There is nothing like a little murder to put me in the holiday spirit. Published in 1936, this is a closed house mystery, as Santa Klaus is murdered on Christmas Day. The Melburys have gathered at the country estate where their father resides with his youngest daughter. Aunt Mildred believes nothing good can come of such a family party. Depending on who you are, a lot good may have come from the cranky, annoying patriarch being shot in the head in his study during the festivities. I liked it a lot and the British Library Crime Classics again do not disappoint.

I really enjoyed reading this. Even though I didn't feel christmassy this year at all, the two christmas murder mysteries were awesome.
