All Stories, Christmas Crime Week 2025

Loch Ness Monster by Steven French

In the world of crime “Boxing Day” often creates its own meaning. Usually something a bit more prosaic than switching places with the Master, unless, of course, his Lordship is in need of “crating” for shipment.

Loch Ness Monster by Steven French is also something whose title can be taken in more than one way. Utterly brilliant, this piece brings out the self head slap and Why didn’t I think of that? in every writer. Steven did, and he handled the subject with perfection.

    The stories this week have been brilliant, each one a work of art in the otherwise dubious field of crime.

    Yours is a triumph in its own right; simple, elegant and it delivers a twist so sublime thst it makes jealous!
