This December I have decided to read Christmassy novels for the whole month. Some were good, some were not, but overall feeling very Xmassy indeed!!!
Merry Xmas everyone!
Seven days of us - F. Honrak
A lot of secrets for such a small family! A pleasant read, very interesting to snoop a "posh" London family Christmas traditions.
Rating: 7 out of 10
The Mitford murders - J. Fellowes
A mix between and "old fashioned" crime story and an upstairs/downstairs one. Pleasant enough, interesting characters, a lovely cover!
Rating: 7 out of 10
Kissing Christmas goodbye - M.C. Beaton
Novel number 18 for Agatha Raisin, who always entertains me. Not the best of the serie, but nice enough.
Rating: `6 out of 10
A redbird Christmas - F. Flagg
The idea behind the plot is interesting, however I found it quite dull.
Rating: 5 out of 10
The sense of Smilla for snow - P, Hoeg
I was really looking forward to reading this, having heard good comments over the years, but I couldn't get into it at all...
Rating: Abandoned
Crime at Christmas - C. H. B. Kitchin
A good, old fashioned British crime novel set at Christmas. Very enjoyable.
Rating: 6,5 out of 10
Winter Street - E. Hildenbrend
A great Xmassy read, cozy, cheesy but not too much, a warm family saga.
Rating: 7,5 out of 10
The Santa Klaus murder - M. D. Hay
Another classic crime novel, another problematic family with a lot of secrets. A bit too slow in my view.
Rating; 5 out of 10
Winter stroll - E. Hildenbren
Book 2 of the Winter Street Inn serie. Again very pleasant, enjoyable and Xmassy.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Mystery in white - L. J. Farjeon
Third classic crime novel for this Xmas and again, really enjoyed it, loving the old school crime writers!
Rating: 6,5 out of 10
