Stitched with Wonder: An Alex Allin Cozy Mystery (Alex Allin Cozy Mysteries)

A missing Baby Jesus, a meddling Granny Squad, and a stranger who might just be Santa. Christmas in Aspen Ridge is about to get wonderfully suspicious. Quilt-shop owner Alex Allin planned a quiet holiday—until Baby Jesus vanishes from the town’s nativity scene and cocoa-fueled chaos erupts beneath the spruce. The well-meaning but wildly speculative Granny Squad launches a full investigation, complete with “evidence jars,” dog-assisted stakeouts, and theories involving reindeer sabotage. Their most loyal assistants? Saedie, the snack-sniffing cavapoo, and Buddy, a ball-chasing whirlwind who’s convinced every mystery ends in fetch. With snow piling high and secrets piling higher, Alex follows a trail of peppermint clues through snow tunnels, missing stockings, and small-town secrets. Between a jealous shopkeeper, a prankster teen, and a frazzled orphanage director, everyone in town has something to hide. But when a mysterious man in red appears amid a blizzard and long-lost gifts begin to reappear, Alex must decide whether she’s chasing a thief . . . or witnessing a Christmas miracle. Includes free Christmas recipes from the Granny Squad! A heartwarming cozy mystery filled with faith, friendship, and festive cheer—perfect for fans of Amanda Flower, Jacqueline Frost, and Vannetta Chapman. View Less
