Innocent fun, is how I'd describe this in a nutshell. 'The Very Merry Murder Club' is a collection of thirteen short stories written by an array of authors, set during the holiday season. One thing I really like is there is a ton of diversity and inclusivity throughout, which I am always a fan of especially when it's in works geared toward younger readers (most of the stories are by authors of colour). The title is slightly misleading however as only four of the stories in here actually contain murder (spoiler alert, they were among my favourites) but they all entail an aspect of mystery. Whilst there are a couple of weak tales in here, it's all in all a solid collection.
