Crime For Christmas by Richard Dalby, Peter Cushing

1.0

Just plain awful. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the only good stories were the ones by Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. As to the other stories, the editor seems to have picked the most terribly written and inappropriate stories he could find (Dear Mr Dalby, suicide hasn't been considered a crime since 1961, so Thomas Hardy's The Grave by the Handpost should have no place in an anthology about crime published in 1991). The only other saving grace was the cover, which was a large part of the reason I bought this book, to be honest.
