Book Description:
Mary Higgins Clark, America's Queen of Suspense, and her daughter, bestselling mystery writer Carol Higgins Clark, have again joined forces to create a suspenseful and humorous holiday tale.
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.

zzzzzz This is one of the most boring books I have read in a long time. I generally like MHC books, but when she writes with her daughter they aren't as interesting. Trying to finish it only because I am out of books to read. Hopefully, my next selection will be here early Monday morning!

Another great Christmas mystery by two of my favorite authors. A quick, easy read I think you will enjoy.
I prefer Mary Higgins Clark alone, but this was probably the best one they have done together and I really enjoyed it.
Donna G. (Cute little read. Quick read for during a busy holiday season!
Good book for a Christmas read, but I'm getting a little tired of these characters.
Entertaining characters. Story line moves right along. Cute story with happy ending. What more could you ask for?
PREDICTABLE, BUT STILL A GREAT READ. VERY LIGHT AND GREAT FOR A SUNDAY ON THE COUCH!
Interesting read. 'Bumbling thieves should not associate with other bumbling thieves' is the best summary I can come up with.
A mystery with Regan Reilly and her parents, also brings back Alvirah & Willie. Fast read, good story.
great book, I really enjoyed this..quick read when you need to sit for a few moments
