Festive books

[Cheguevarahamster]

I need to pick a book for our Book Club with a festive theme. Could be a ghost story or a book set at Christmas /winter time. Previously we have read the Hogfather and The Mistletoe bride.

Any suggestions, you lovely people?

Andrew Taylor's Fireside Gothic?

Thanks Tossdaily. That looks interesting Any other suggestions?

The Snow Child - but it's snowy rather than christmassy

Skipping Christmas ~ John Grisham
The League Against Christmas ~ Michael Curtin
A Child's Christmas in Wales ~ Thomas
Winter Solstice ~ Rosamunde Pilcher

Jostein Gaarder - The Christmas Mystery?

Georgette Heyer 'a Christmas party'

Susan Cooper - The Dark is Rising. Technically a children’s book but that doesn’t matter.

Mystery in White is a great Christmassy read, but its suitability as a reading group book would depend on the type of reading group - do you love to have a huge amount of literary points to discuss for hours or do you chat a bit about a book then drink wine and have a banter?

Just popping a message to follow. I like a festive read. Even if I get jealous of all the snow!

Thanks guys. Yes we are a more chat about the book a bit then general banter.....

Santa klaus murder is another British library crime classics I've enjoyed.

Mystery in White should be right up your street then!
