HOLIDAYS
CAN BE MURDER!
~ A compendium of MURDER MYSTERIES with holiday themes ~
"I know nothing about pistols and revolvers, which is why
I usually kill off my characters with a blunt instrument or
better with poisons. Besides, poisons are neat and clean
and really exciting... I do not think I could look a really ghastly
mangled body in the face. It is the means that I am interested in.
I do not usually describe the end, which is often a corpse."
(Agatha Christie ~ 1890-1976)
