- C. H. B. Kitchin was born in 1895. He read classics at Oxford and, after serving in France during World War I, was called to the bar in 1924. His early novels, such as Streamers Waving, were witty and brilliant, with a strong element of fantasy; while his later ones, such as The Book of LIfe, were, in the words of Francis King, 'works of settled and deliberate accomplishment, brimful of diverting characters, incidents and ideas'.

What I didn’t know is that this book is the second of four books that feature London stockbroker Malcolm Warren but other than some referrals back to the first book, I didn’t feel as though I had missed anything by starting with the second. The mystery is centered around the family that live at Beresford Lodge, and although Malcolm isn’t the brightest detective that I have read about, he did keep stumbling over past secrets and connections. He certainly seemed more interested in taking naps than in solving the case, but luckily the second death brought the police.
I wouldn’t recommend reading Crime At Christmas as a way to feel festive, but I did find it engaging enough that I wanted to see how it was going to be resolved. I will certainly be reading more from this author in the future.… (altro)
