A desperate mother, her missing child, and a stolen chalice set the stage for a gripping Christmas mystery. In "All Through the Night," Mary Higgins Clark, the Queen of Suspense, delivers a tale that keeps readers engaged throughout the holiday season. The story features beloved characters Alvirah, a lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and her husband, Willy, who rely on Alvirah's keen deductive skills and Willy's practical wisdom. The plot kicks off when a young, unmarried woman leaves her newborn on a church rectory doorstep in Manhattan, coinciding with the theft of a cherished chalice adorned with a star-shaped diamond. Both the infant and the chalice vanish without a trace. Fast forward seven years, just before Christmas, and Alvirah and Willy are helping Willy's sister, Cordelia, a nun who runs a thrift shop and after-school shelter for local kids, prepare for a Christmas pageant. However, the shelter's future is in jeopardy when the city condemns the building, and a nearby brownstone, intended as a new location, is claimed by a young couple who may not be what they seem. Alvirah is determined to prove their legitimacy and becomes embroiled in the mystery of the missing chalice and child. In this festive tale, Clark offers her readers a captivating Christmas gift.
