ACCC: December, 2020 Side Reads

In the run-off between two books tied for first place, the winner was Envious Casca (aka The Christmas Party) by Georgette Heyer. 

 

However, because of an on-going personal snit over the choice of narrator for the most recent re-issue of the GH mysteries -- all were read by the same utterly horrible narrator -- I chose not to read the winner, even if GH is among my favorite authors. I actually ended up reading two of the titles in the poll and may very well read a few more in the future.

Side-read:  Envious Casca  by Georgette Heyer 
Non-winners:  Tied up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh
Thou Shell of Death by Nicholas Blake,
An English Murder by Cyril Hare
Santa Klaus Murder by Mavis Doriel Hay
Night of Fear (Moray Dalton),
A Maigret Christmas (George Simenon) (sadly not much by Simenon on Audible)
Death Comes at Christmas (Gladys Mitchell)
 

The books in bold are on Audible and I have read the titles in color.
