“Fun” anthology. My favorite was C.L. Shore’s “Claus, Santa: MIA” Oh, and I really liked that each story had a Christmas Recipe as a post script. Nice idea.

I really enjoyed the surprise ending of the first story! No spoilers here though. Really I enjoyed all the stories. It was unique to be able to relate to the places in the stories so closely. As I tend to read true crime at times it seemed the stories flew by at breakneck speed and I wondered how they got from crime to arrest in so few pages. I determined this impression is because I have not been reading short stories very often and their structure and format is different. Once I adjusted I settled in for the ride. I would recommend this book.
