Review: Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret

Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

30 November 2025

I am a latecomer to Stevenson, despite having him on my list to read. Too many books on the list, not enough interest in reading really. But I received a copy from the publisher and I am delighted. A fair play mystery in the time-honored tradition of Christmas specials! And in the form of an Advent calendar! I'm stoked. And I am not reading past the front matter and prolonged today: I am actually going to read it as intended. Well, probably, because life. But I will try very hard to stick to the schedule. I am excited and delighted all out of proportion, which is itself a delightful surprise. Let me know if you're also playing along.

Delightful. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of this lot. As long as Osman writes them I'll be reading and rereading them. Who among us doesn't want to be just like them someday?
