When I started reading this, I read the dedication of the author's memories of the Marshall Fields State Street Store. My husband talks about having been lucky enough to go every Christmas to the Walnut Room and the fond memories he has of this annual event. While I never went myself, Marshall Fields had always been an wonderful shopping experience. Their Christmas decorations were always magical.

This book incorporates those feelings into a sweet mystery involving a fictional store in downtown Chicago. Crimson Holiday and Crimson Nightmare the two stories showcased under Crimson Duet.
These are fun sweet mysteries centered around Christmas.
