Review: Very Short Book Filled with Nasty People
Rating: 1 out of 5

M.C. Beaton's "Christmas Crumble" is a very short (36 pages) book that isn't worth the sub-dollar price currently being charged for it.  Oh, not for the price or shortness.  But, very simply because Beaton thinks it's supposed to be humorous, when, instead, it's just a series of nasty, shallow, people being rotten.  Also, and this is somewhat important for a work classified as a Mystery, Detective, and Sleuth book, there's really no mystery here, no sleuthing, and the detective in this case isn't worth her own pudding.  I rate it at a Highly Disappointing 1 star out of 5.
