  Christmas crimes hit close to home for Boston's favorite art sleuths. "Charlotte MacLeod's mysteries are witty and full of humor" (Maine Crime Writers). 
   
   
   
  The angry old men of the Comrades of the Convivial Codfish club celebrate yuletide doing what they do best: eating, drinking, and greeting the season of giving with a spirited "bah, humbug!" Though well past sixty, Jem Kelling is a relative infant compared to some of the club's elder statesmen, and he has waited decades to host their annual Christmas scowl. And during his first evening as Exalted Chowderhead, he is thrilled to find the wine abundant, the chowder superb, and the humbugs as lusty as ever. But as the night winds down, Jem is horrified to find that the ceremonial Codfish necklace has vanished—right off of his neck! His nephew-in-law, art investigator Max Bittersohn, is convinced his new uncle was the victim of a practical joke. But when the old man takes a hip-snapping tumble, Max is forced to conclude that one of the scrooges is trying to perpetrate a deadly Christmas jeer.

  "The Adventure of the Three Students", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
  Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in a university town when a tutor and lecturer of St Luke's College, Mr. Hilton Soames, brings him an interesting problem. Soames had been reviewing the galley proofs of an exam he was going to give when he left his office for an hour. When he returned, he found that his servant, Bannister, had entered the room but accidentally left his key in the lock when he left, and someone had disturbed the exam papers on his desk and left traces that show it had been partially copied. Bannister is devastated and collapses on a chair, but swears that he did not touch the papers. Soames found other clues in his office: pencil shavings, a broken pencil lead, a fresh cut in his desk surface, and a small blob of black clay speckled with sawdust.

  🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric cutter Cora Cutwell is hosting a fat quarter frenzy sale when the store's most demanding customer—a notorious fabric hoarder—is found dead in her shop, buried under a collapsed display of premium fat quarters. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cora notices the fabric bolts have been deliberately cut to weaken the display and the victim's purchase history shows suspicious patterns of fabric accumulation. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in an uproar, Cora must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her cutting team and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fabric stress points, Cora uncovers a scheme involving short-measured fabric, counterfeit designer prints, and a black market for stolen quilt shop inventory. From suspicious cutting patterns that reveal intentional waste to selvage edges that don't match manufacturer specifications, every quarter yard tells a story. But when Cora discovers the victim was systematically reselling stolen fat quarters online at inflated prices, she realizes the killer is protecting small quilt shops from a fabric fencing operation. With the annual quilt show approaching and the real thief still cutting corners, Cora must square away the evidence before her own business gets permanently cut from the bolt.
