Kitty Worthington Cozy Caper #5
The Case of the Stolen Christmas Angel: A 1920s Historical Cozy Mystery
When a priceless medieval relic vanishes from a church, can Kitty Worthington find it before its Christmas celebration is ruined?London, 1924. Weeks before Christmas, a rare carving of a medieval angel disappears from St. Margaret’s. Without it, the church’s beloved Christmas Day service risks being mired in scandal instead of joy.
Kitty agrees to take on the investigation on the condition she may bring in her husband, Robert. His experience as a Scotland Yard Detective Chief Inspector will aid the inquiry, and the work may help distract him from his brother’s lingering illness.
As they trace a trail of curious clues leading from the quiet church to shadowed corners of London, Kitty and Robert discover the theft may be far more complicated—and more dangerous—than anyone imagined. The deeper they delve, the more entangled they become in a web of deception, desperation, and hidden motives.
Can Kitty recover the lost Christmas Angel before the holiday service is ruined? Or will a cherished tradition crumble under the weight of someone’s dark ambition?
The Case of the Stolen Christmas Angel, Book 5 in The Kitty Worthington Cozy Capers, from the pen of USA TodayBestselling Author Magda Alexander, is a heartwarming historical cozy mystery filled with festive cheer, clever sleuthing, and just the right touch of holiday magic.

This was an enjoyable Christmas caper with Kitty and her husband, rather then the rest of her detective friends. Although that being said, her brother Richard, did get to lend a hand.

Magda Alexander always writes clever, cozy fiction books. Kitty Worthington is my favorite. Easy to read with great characters and a tidy wrap-up at the end.

Quick Burst of Holiday Cheer
Kitty only needs Robert and one brother to quickly solve this one. If you’re a fan of the series, this is a enjoyable afternoon read.

predictable
Not the best. I dislike the use of phrases common in the 21st century. Unheard of in the early 20th. Ruins the flow of the story which was trite and predictable

Short but sweet. A good read that I didn’t have to put down. Kitty and Robert are quite the detectives.
