The Murderous Christmas Stories collections are seasonal mystery anthologies that include work by Ellis Peters among other crime fiction authors. Published between 2016 and 2022, these ten volumes gather classic crime stories set during the holiday season.
Each anthology carries a different subtitle but follows the same format of collecting previously published mystery stories with a Christmas or winter theme. Peters’ contributions sit alongside work from other major crime writers, making these collections a good way to discover her shorter fiction in the context of the genre’s broader tradition.
