The intrepid Belle and Rosco are back to entertain us with their sleuthing and clue-laced crossword puzzles. This time, it's a collection of short mysteries, all with Christmas settings. Two take place in New England, two in Pennsylvania and one in England.

Many of the most appealing cozy mystery elements can be found here---messages from the past (ghosts, perhaps?), obscure hints, greedy relatives, entrapment by snow with the unidentified murderer, the small English country village and much more.

Each story has it's accompanying crossword puzzle and it's a lot of fun to try to solve the puzzle and, thus, the mystery. Fortunately, for those like myself who need the occasional hint, the answers are in the back of the book. The authors are adept at creating these puzzles and I must admit I usually need the occasional sneak peek.

This is a perfect holiday gift for that person on your list who is addicted to crosswords or mysteries with holiday settings---or both.
