Reactions and Reviews

On Christmas Eve, Doyle returns unexpectedly from a job to find Bodie drunk and passed out in his own flat... This is a very sweet Christmas story in which Doyle finally realises how much he means to Bodie, and how much Bodie means to him - and makes it his business to give Bodie the best Christmas he can on short notice. Lovely story. Highly recommended.[1]

"Deck the Halls" on the Proslib CD, Disk 18.

I dithered about this for a long time because ideally I should provide a link for you to click on to get a bit of seasonal cheer. Instead, I'm making you look for your CD....

But it is totally worth it! I love "Deck the Halls". It's one of my favorite Christmas stories. Doyle returns to London unexpectedly at Christmas, after planning to be out of town. Naturally, he goes to Bodie's ...where he discovers his Christmas-mad partner, who always celebrates the day in style, drunk and alone in a cheerless, undecorated flat. Without Doyle, what was the point? ("Ooh," goes my heart.) Doyle decides to rectify the situation. He will provide Christmas for Bodie. Never mind that the shops are closed and he has no food or supplies. He's one of CI5's finest! He'll manage. Somehow... It's for Bodie!

Go on, find the CD! Read! [2]

I've always been fond of Hestia's writing. And this one is just so...nice.[3]

I did load a bunch of [the] CD stories on my Kindle, and that helped. This story is an excellent excuse to dig out the CD![4]
