Far too short.. over before I was ready for it

This started out great.. but BAM! It was over. Shame really. I did enjoy what I read.

Loved this murder tale!

A CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY was first published in 1910 as part of the short story collection Miss Molly of Scotland Yard (the audio version of the anthology is poorly done). This short story is superb! I am a fan of author Baroness Emmauska Orczy.
