About this ebook

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SHORT STORY OF APPROXIMATELY 8000 WORDS. IT IS NOT A FULL LENGTH NOVEL.

The last person Detective Sergeant Kate Redman wants to see while she's doing her Christmas shopping is habitual petty thief and homeless alcoholic Charlie Petworth. While she knows that Charlie steals small things in part to get a warm bed for the night, it's still annoying, particularly in the season of good will.

Then a far more serious crime occurs and Kate realises that Charlie might well be involved. But why would he go from stealing a packet of flower seeds to stealing a little toddler? And is there more to this case than at first meets the eye?

A short story written especially for fans of the Kate Redman Mysteries, this short, seasonal mystery is from crime writer Celina Grace, author of the Kate Redman Mysteries, The Asharton Manor Mysteries and the upcoming historical mystery series, Miss Hart and Miss Hunter Investigate.

Looooove Kate redman story's . Even though "Joy" is a short story I wish it wasn't a Cliff hanger ending. Obviously Kate got justice for Joy but I wanted to hear the parents reactions. Still a good read.🔰

But it seems unfinished. It has no ending. The story is going along nicely, then out of nowhere it is just over. I understand its a short story but this is just way too short. Even short stories have endings.

Ok was a great read but wheres the test of the story. I understand is a novella but that's not the ending I was expecting. It was good tho and I guess I'm just more of the full novel girl and not short stories. 😊

About the author

Celina Grace was born sometime towards the end of the last century and wrote her first story, The Blue Ruby, at the age of seven. Although this early masterpiece was inexplicably ignored by the literary establishment, Celina persevered with her craft and a mere thirty-something years later, writes full time as the author of The Kate Redman Mysteries, The Asharton Manor Mysteries and various standalone psychological thrillers. She lives in the beautiful Georgian city of Bath in the UK.
