I've found such lists on several library websites. Try a Google search
under "public library" + "Christmas mysteries" OR "holiday mysteries"

You can always try Silent Night by Mary Higgins Clark; Holly, Jolly Murder by Joan Hess;
or Hercule Poirot's Christmas (Murder for Christmas or A Holiday for Murder) by Agatha
Christie.

Hope that helps!

Charlotte MacLeod GOD REST YOU MERRY (Peter Shandy mystery, one of my
favorites)
Jane Langton THE SHORTEST DAY: MURDER AT THE REVELS

I am sure that on of the early Sarah and Max Bittersohn mysteries, also by
Charlotte Macleod, takes place at Christmas, but I don't remember which
one...I thinkk it was the one with the train...

The Convivial Codfish was a Sarah and Max mystery from Macleod in 1984. We've got the Shandy volume as merely "Rest You Merry".

For anyone who's interested, here's a link to the "Mistletoe Mysteries" booklist on our system's website. The list has also been produced in print, with regular updated/edited versions each winter. It's one of our more popular lists and the traditional display I do in Nov/Dec is hard to keep loaded!

This web page that was a project for one of my MLS
classes has a pretty extensive list of Christmas
mysteries:
http://www.angelfire.com/ct2/mystery/christmaspage.html

The home page links to lists of other holiday
mysteries as well. I haven't updated it since last
summer, so if anyone sees anything that should be
added please feel free to email me!
