Actually this book is a collection of six Christmas murder stories by various authors (Ann Crowleigh, Connie Feddersen, Louise Hendricksen, Toni L. P. Kelner, J. Dayne Lamb and Pat Warren). Each story was followed by a short note about the author and her next book title with the expected publication year. The stories themselves were OK. I tended to like the writing of the last three authors more than the first three only because the first three tended to describe sexual feelings more between the two main characters (always male-female) and it got tiring in lack of variation. Although the last three also had the typical male-female main characters who were interested in each other, the authors found more to describe about their interactions than just the sexual interest which lent to the characters a more developed personality.
