* OlderThanTheyThink: This isn't the first contemporary Creator/CharlesDickens crossover work of fiction where Inspector Bucket investigates the death of one of the partners of Scrooge and Marley. The 2007 Magazine/ElleryQueensMysteryMagazine story "Humbug" (which is also collected in ''Literature/NaughtyNineTalesOfChristmasCrime''), features Scrooge dying after it turns out that the events of ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'' were all just a dream after he was secretly drugged with opium, and Bucket is assigned to find out who is responsible.
