Blog Blasts from the Past for Christmas


This is, astonishingly, the tenth Christmas since I started writing this irregular blog about Sherlock Holmes in 2011. Here are some of my favorite Yuletide blog posts that I think are worth another look:

Many of those posts deal in one way or another with holiday reading. That makes me think of my 2019 Sebastian McCabe – Jeff Cody mystery novel, Too Many Clues. It is set at Christmas and features a subplot in which both Mac and a robber play Santa. There’s a holiday office party scene in the book that makes me a little weepy-eyed when I re-read it. Mac also played Santa in “Santa Crime,” one of the stories in my book Rogues Gallery. Both books are available in paperback and e-book ediitons.
