From Rom-Coms to Mysteries, Here Are 42 Christmas Books to Keep You Cozy This Season

No list of holiday books is complete without an Agatha Christie novel. She writes a heart-stopping tale in "Hercule Poirot's Christmas", where the titular character gets accidentally involved in a mystery. He learns of a household that gathered on Christmas Eve, only to hear crashing and screaming from their upstairs room. It was upstairs that the Lees found the head of their family dead — an unknown assailant had slashed his throat. Hercule Poirot decides to solve the mystery and get to the bottom of the ever-growing suspicion within the Lee family. As luck should have it, each family member had a reason to despise the victim, and Poirot's Christmas gets derailed by his search for the murderer.
