书籍简介

有毒的肉馅饼。圣诞夜的鬼故事突然出现，令人毛骨悚然。冬夜里火车上的密室谜题。所有这些，还有更多神秘和恶意的故事，都在《烛光谋杀》中等待着你。

随着夜幕降临，旧年悄然离去，这十个经典故事——出自犯罪题材伟大的作家——将让你困惑不已，让你不寒而栗。从狡猾伪装的杀手到隐藏致命秘密的乡间别墅，气氛可能很欢乐……但动机是谋杀。

Poisoned mince pies. A Christmas Eve story that comes suddenly, horribly true. A locked-room puzzle on a train steaming through the winter's night. All these, and many more, tales of mystery and malice await in Murder by Candlelight.

As the nights draw in and the old year slips away, these ten classic stories - from the greatest writers of the crime genre - will baffle your mind and chill your blood in equal measure. From a cunningly-disguised killer to a country house with a lethal secret, the mood might be festive ... but the motive is murder.
