Murder on a Winter's Night: Ten Classic Crime Stories by Cecily Gayford

mysterious medium-paced

3.0

Short story collections are sometimes like a pre-made bag of pick’n’mix - random, sometimes disappointing and with a rare favourite at the bottom.

Murder on a Winter’s Night is sadly one of those short story collections for me; many liquorice allsorts (sorry if you like those) but with a sprinkling of chocolate coated raisins (you might think those are disgusting but they’re my favourite).

My personal favourite was by Dorothy L Sayers and honestly it was so good it made up for the duds! 

As you can see by my terrible analogy above, stories which I might have not enjoyed may be seen as stand-outs by others, and vice versa, so don’t let my opinion deter you from picking this one up if it’s on your radar.
