Christmas mystery novels are a treasure trove of cozy thrills, and quite a few have made the leap to the screen. One standout is Agatha Christie's 'Murder for Christmas,' which was adapted into the 2015 TV movie 'A Christmas Tragedy.' The film nails the book's atmosphere with its snowed-in setting and clever whodunit plot. Another classic is 'The Nine Tailors' by Dorothy L. Sayers, featuring Lord Peter Wimsey. The BBC adapted it into a feature-length episode, though it’s harder to find. For something lighter, 'The Santa Klaus Murder' by Mavis Doriel Hay got a modern TV adaptation that’s become a holiday favorite.

Then there’s 'The Mistletoe Murder' by P.D. James, which inspired a short film that captures the eerie holiday mood perfectly. If you prefer international flavors, 'The Christmas Mystery' by Jostein Gaarder was adapted into a Norwegian film that blends folklore with suspense. These adaptations often add new layers to the stories, whether through visuals or expanded subplots, making them worth watching even if you’ve read the books. The mix of holiday cheer and mystery is just irresistible, whether on page or screen.

I love curling up with a good Christmas mystery novel, and yes, many of them have fantastic movie adaptations! One of my all-time favorites is 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' from Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. While it's not a full movie, the BBC adaptation starring Benedict Cumberbatch captures the holiday spirit perfectly. Another great one is 'Hercule Poirot's Christmas' by Agatha Christie, which has been adapted into a TV movie with David Suchet as Poirot. The cozy yet suspenseful vibe of these stories translates really well to screen, making them perfect for a winter watch. If you're into more modern takes, 'The Christmas Train' by David Baldacci was turned into a Hallmark movie, though it leans more towards romance with a mystery twist. These adaptations keep the charm of the books while adding visual flair, making them a must-watch during the holidays.

Christmas mysteries are my go-to for December, and I’ve hunted down plenty of their adaptations. 'Envious Casca' by Georgette Heyer, a locked-room mystery set during Christmas, was loosely adapted into a British TV movie in the 1980s. It’s a bit dated now but still fun. More recently, 'The Stupidest Angel' by Christopher Moore—a hilarious, darkly festive tale—got a stage play adaptation, though no movie yet. On the cozy side, 'The December Boys' by Peter Temple has a noir-ish TV adaptation that amps up the winter gloom.

For pure nostalgia, the 1994 adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' with Patrick Stewart is technically a ghost story with mystery elements, and it’s brilliant. While not all Christmas mysteries get flashy adaptations, the ones that do often become seasonal staples. If you’re into Scandinavian noir, 'The Ice Princess' by Camilla Läckberg has a TV series that includes a chilling Christmas episode. The crossover of holiday warmth and gripping puzzles just works, whether you’re reading or watching.

A Second Life Inside My Novels
A Second Life Inside My Novels
Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

The contrast between festive cheer and dark secrets creates a unique tension that keeps readers hooked.

The snow-covered landscapes, twinkling lights, and family gatherings often hide sinister motives, adding layers to the plot.

As someone who grew up devouring mystery novels, I think Christmas mystery novels are a fantastic choice for teens.

Take 'The Box of Delights' by John Masefield—it’s a classic mix of winter wonderland and intrigue, perfect for younger readers. Teens who enjoy puzzles and plot twists will love how these stories balance festive cheer with clever whodunits. Plus, they’re usually less intense than adult mysteries, so the scares are fun without being overwhelming. I’d also recommend 'The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow' by Katherine Woodfine for its adventurous yet age-appropriate twists.
