A murder occurs that leaves her figuring out who killed a house guest and why. The Mistletoe Murder": A young woman who is recently widowed during WWII goes to visit her estranged family. I think that if the stories had been longer they would have left me with a better impression. All of them take place around Christmas too which I thought was kind of cute and also kind of messed up. This was a very short collection (only 176 pages) so I was able to read through these four short stories fairly quickly. Other than that, a good way to pass the time. I found him interesting enough to pick up one of her longer books starring him.

Two of the stories stars PD James, Adam Dagliesh characters. I thought the first short story was very cleverly done and for me afterwards things just kind of went downhill from there. This collection reminded me a lot of Agatha Christie.
