DESCRIPTION:
Only later does he realize that his take for the night includes the infant Stellina (Italian for star). This is a mystery that would be a pleasure to share aloud with a family gathered at the fireplace for some holiday cheer. Clark's lottery-winning protagonists, Alvirah and her husband Willy (introduced in Weep No More, My Lady) return for some amateur sleuthing. Rather, it is a Dickensian tale of good deeds rewarded and crimes punished. Like the best holiday stories, All Through the Night steers toward sentimenta
All Through the night ASBRAL Five stars well deserved. I enjoyed reading this book completely, it held my attention throughout. I've been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark for as long as I can remember. I've read all of her previous books and loved them all. I'm currently reading her most recent books right now. Keep them coming. I recommend this book to everyone.. A Little Disappointed. C. N. Harwood loose ends. no mention of nonna at the end. The plot was way too far fetched, even for MHC.This won't stop me from reading her though, I still love her work, her characters and most of all her constant drive to keep her writing clean, never needing to use profanity.. Good Christmas story It is a good Christmas story. It is also pretty cliche - bad guy, abandoned baby, good-hearted aunt, great detective, and Christmas magic. We all know the plot and ending before the end of the first chapter. Mary Higgins Clark is a great author and she did a good job, but I was hoping for something with a little more twist and suspense.
Two of Mary Higgins Clark's most beloved characters, Alvirah, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and her husband Willy, get caught up in a Christmas mystery that calls on all of Alvirah's deductive powers, as well as Willy's world-class common sense. A missing chalice. A missing child. Who but Alvirah can sort it out in time for Christmas?. Alvirah is soon on the trail of the truth, which must be found before Christmas, which leads to the theft of a valued chalice that is somehow at the heart of the mystery. The center itself is threatened with being closed down, a substitute that has been promised is withdrawn, a desperate young woman appears who begs for Alvirah's help in finding the baby she abandoned seven years earlier, and -- the final blow -- the little girl who is to play the Blessed Mother in the Christmas pageant vanishes. A desperate mother. When the story begins, Willy is looking forward to playing Santa Clause at the after-school center his sister Cordelia has establ
