I gave this book five stars only for J.D. Robb's story, which is wonderful. I quite like "Christmas Promises" by Susan Plunkett. I didn't enjoy the rest of the stories. ( )

Eve must catch a criminal who has escaped his prison before he completes his list of potential victims, one of which is her. ( )

Quick formulaic but a good read. It did fill a void in my list ( )

A quartet of Christmas-related stories. Three are forgettable, but the fourth is finds detective Eve Dallas on a holiday outing with a serial killer who fancies himself a scientific prodigy in the study of pain. Escaped from his maximum security cell, he's made a list of his own... and Eve's name is on it.

Not a necessary purchase unless you want the complete set, but an enjoyable read. ( )

I got this book mainly for J D Robb and was surprised that it was a short story with three others. Quite an accomplished feat for such a mini read, as the detail in what the serial killer was torturing his victims had me shuddering at times. Good story, though
The other 3 stories were OK. The first one by Claire Cross wasn't really much but it did, unexpectedly, tug at the heartstrings a little, dammit! ( )
