MC Beaton has joined other current writers in publishing a short story/novella as a preview to a new novel.  Sometimes this just doesn't work:  the idea that this will attract a new audience to the author is lost by an undeveloped story line and weak prose.  Not so with Christmas Crumble.  Agatha Raisin at her best with the best of her supporting cast and an assortment of new characters that make this story one that is truly in line with the full length novels that have made Agatha Raisin one my favorite female detectives, and surely the funniest!  This publication doesn't miss a beat from the series.  I highly recommend it (along with every book in the series) to readers looking for a mystery that also full of good laughs.
