Murder for Christmas Edited by Thomas Godfrey

Do you enjoy reading mysteries? If you do, you might like reading this anthology of short stories by authors such as Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, Rex Stout, Ngaio Marsh, Charles Dickens, and many other classic writers. One short story I read was Back for Christmas by John Collier. It was an interesting story. Dr. Carpenter was the main character. He and his wife were going to be gone for, but his wife said they would return to England by Christmas. However, something happened, and they didn’t return. Now, you’ll have to read the story to find out what happened.
