Alvirah Meehan, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, teams up with private investigator Regan Reilly to solve another Christmas mystery. In Deck the Halls , they rescued Regan’s kidnapped father. This time they get in the middle of a case involving a beautiful eighty-foot blue spruce that has been chosen to spend the holidays as Rockefeller Center’s famous Christmas tree. The folks who picked the tree don’t have a clue that attached to one of its branches is a flask chock-full of priceless diamonds that Packy Noonan, a scam artist just released from prison, had hidden there over twelve years ago. An excited Packy breaks his parole and heads to Stowe, Vermont, to reclaim his loot. Once there, he is horrified to discover that his special tree will be heading to New York City the next morning. With a bumbling crew consisting of Jo-Jo, Benny, and an unsuccessful poet, Milo, he knows he has to act fast. What Packy does not know is that Alvirah and Regan are on a weekend trip to Stowe with Alvirah’s husband, Willy; Regan’s fiancé, Jack; Regan’s parents, Luke and Nora; and Alvirah’s friend Opal, a lottery winner who lost all her winnings in Packy’s scam. On Monday morning when they’re supposed to head home, they learn that the tree is missing, Packy Noonan may be in the vicinity, and Opal has disappeared. From two of America’s beloved storytellers, The Christmas Thief is filled with suspense, comic characters, and holiday cheer, and is sure to delight its readers. Review: Great fun from the mother/daughter team - I just thought this was great reading! I've read every Mary Higgins Clark book - sadly none of Carol's yet but I'll get to them. Have also read each of their teamwork books - thought this was just as good as any of them! It's lighter reading than Mary's "serious" mysteries - but that's the idea - just a fun Christmas-themed book. Such a fast read and it's still a mystery but not SCARY - just fun to follow along. This was set in Stowe, Vermont, primarily, at or near the Trapp Family Lodge (think von Trapp family from Sound of Music) and since I'm a fan of that film it was extra fun. If you want blood and gore from a mystery, this isn't it. If you want a quick read that has some heart-pounding moments - go for it! Review: Light Hearted & an Easy Read - This was a cute easy to read story. Not fussy or suspenseful. A good cozy “mystery” if you are looking for something quick and enjoyable to read. Reminds me a bit of Nancy Drew in style. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #125,988 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #589 in Holiday Fiction (Kindle Store) #918 in Holiday Fiction (Books) #1,234 in Ghost Mysteries | ## Images ![The Christmas Thief: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zOanlMq0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fun from the mother/daughter team *by N***R on February 19, 2005* I just thought this was great reading!

Not fussy or suspenseful. A good cozy “mystery” if you are looking for something quick and enjoyable to read. Reminds me a bit of Nancy Drew in style. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice light read *by K***E on December 17, 2022* This is a nice book if you’re looking for a light read with a happy ending. Very easy reading and swearing, explicit sex, etc. free. Not the book if you’re looking to be intellectually challenged. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/149281000-the-christmas-thief-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.es/products/149281000-the-christmas-thief-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
