The Greek Who Stole Christmas



Anthony Horowitz is the author of The Diamond Brothers Mystery series, of which The Greek Who Stole Christmas is one. The book is relatively short, but Horowitz packs plenty of action into every chapter. While I won’t give any of the plot away, I will say that the main reason this book is worth reading is the amount of clichés, plays on words, and other little one-liners. The book is loaded with them in every chapter, every page. While all of these are funny, some people may get a bit tired of them by the middle of the book. Although the writing is well crafted, there are very few suspects, and the ending is quite disappointing, because the culprit is somewhat obvious to the reader. This is a stand-alone book, so you do not need to read the rest of the series to start this book. A great quick read for you mystery-lovers!
