Christmas has once again inspired mystery writers to craft season-themed stories of loss and of hope, of suffering and redemption, and even to hint, at times, at the greater mysteries of creation.Go, Tom!
In “A Season for Sleuthing,” Nolan takes speedy peeks at A Christmas Beginning, by Anne Perry; A Fatal Grace, by Louise Penny; Death at the Old Hotel, by Con Lehane; Voices, by Arnaldur Indridason; Christmas Stories, edited by Diana Secker Tesdell; Hammett’s Moral Vision, by George J. “Rhino” Thompson; The Long Embrace, by Judith Freeman; and The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps, edited by Otto Penzler.
