Silent Night, Bloody Night. Snow falls, and everything looks peaceful. Until it isn’t. These are stories where the holidays turn hostile: killers in the cold, ancient things in the woods, parties that end in blood. From slashers to folklore to sheer winter dread, these books remind you that not all traditions should be kept alive.

A little bit of murder to go with your mince pie!

Because the most wonderful time of the year means curling up with a good mystery

Most of these will be murder mysteries surrounding the Christmas season, but some are also winter-themed and/or less gruesome mysteries.

Books that are short but impactful. Some of these I read years ago and still think about unprompted sometimes. (I tried to keep these below 250 pages)

Please feel free to recommend your own favourites in the comments! ^^

Books that are set around Christmas or about Christmas, but not focused mostly on romance. Please suggest more as I have a hard time finding books with little to no romance that is Christmas focused.

Books that are set during Winter or around Christmas
