Unexpected Christmas

THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TAKES CENTER STAGE in five unexpected holiday stories from the inventive mind of award-winning writer Annie Reed.

From a detective called by an old friend to investigate a decidedly odd crime in ＂The Magi of St. Michael’s＂ to a couple whose lives are irrevocably changed by the power of ＂A Wish to Build a Life On.＂

From private investigator Dee and her hunky elf partner Diz as they tackle ＂The Case of the Disappearing Decorations＂ to an elderly woman trying to regain her ＂Holiday Spirit＂ to a ＂Killer Party＂ that no one in the neighborhood will ever forget.

These Christmas stories will make you smile, make you laugh or give you a chill, and most of all will pull at your heartstrings in the best possible way. See why Annie Reed’s been called a master of short fiction and why her Unexpected series of short-story collections feature some of her finest work.
