Oh, WAY more than merely 13 murders - I just finished the Detection Club anthology edited by @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social - whose own entry literally made me lol with its final sentence. The first story made me smile too.🙂 bsky.app/profile/uncl...

Every year at this time I buy a new holiday-themed mystery or collection of mystery stories. This year it's Who Killed Father Christmas?: And Other Seasonal Mysteries (British Library Crime Classics), edited by @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social

Cover of Who Killed Father Christmas. Shows snow-covered houses and in the center a small figure of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) carrying a large sack of presents over his left shoulder.

t's a fun feature. @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social 's Rachel Savernake series include those too, IIRC. The passage also reminds me of an article I read on Poe & Borges as both detective and cosmic fiction authors. How their affection for logic puzzles spoke to their views on the universe & Divine.

Keeping it light and very engaging today with this set of short stories. Something very satisfying about the short mystery. Guess quickly because it’s over in a flash. Excellent intro by @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social that prompted me to make a list of mysteries new to me to look out for.
