I don't usually publish a gift suggestions list, but I've had a few requests for it this year.
I'm going to assume that CFC readers already know what books are out there, so this post will focus on other mystery-related gifts.

The coffee mug with the brass knuckles looks pretty fun! Thanks for the list.
