Mayhem for all seasons... In The Little Red Book of Holiday Homicides, our year begins in December with The Shoe Santa, a Christmas-time noir tale of Effie Perrine, Sam Spade's secretary, ferreting out the truth about scores of missing boys. In The St. Nicholas Abbey Rum, January's Twelfth Night party at an English country house is interrupted when the Lord's young daughter is fatally poisoned. In February's homage to President's Day, a bottle of antique Jefferson Bordeaux is misappropriated and later found where the sun don't shine. March celebrates baseball's opening day with a fatal ballpark beaning. April is for Earth Day and auto-erotic asphyxiation. You get the (perfect gift) idea. It's a mix of murder mystery styles ranging from hard-boiled to barely singed, points of view varied among victim, perp and gumshoe, periods and places from Texas in the Depression to Upstate New York in the now to a famous theater town in Southern Oregon playfully known as "Bardford." There's a celebration for everybody, whether you're into Roman festivals or orthodox atheism ... and a murder to boot. The holidays are a time of indulgence, so whether you're vacationing at the beach or settled into your comfy chair by the fire, put your feet up and savor a collection that will fill your inner sleuth with gladness.
