A desperate mother. Her missing child. A stolen chalice. In "All Through the Night," Mary Higgins Clark, America's Queen of Suspense, delivers a captivating Christmas tale filled with mystery. The story revolves around two beloved characters, Alvirah, a lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and her husband, Willy, who must use Alvirah's sharp deductive skills and Willy's practical wisdom to unravel a Christmas mystery. The plot kicks off when a young unmarried woman leaves her newborn on a church rectory doorstep in Manhattan, while inside, a young man steals a valuable chalice adorned with a star-shaped diamond. Both the infant and the chalice vanish without a trace. Fast forward seven years to a few weeks before Christmas, where Alvirah and Willy are assisting Willy's sister Cordelia, a nun running a thrift shop that serves as an after-school shelter for local children. The shelter faces closure when the city condemns the building, and their plans to relocate are thwarted by a will that favors a young couple living in the brownstone. Convinced the will is fraudulent, Alvirah embarks on a quest to expose the couple as con artists, leading her deeper into the intertwined mysteries of the chalice and the missing child. This festive tale is a true gift for readers.
