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.

Wonderful Kate Redman Christmas short story By Amazon Customer This is a very heart warming glimpse into Kate Redman's character at this special time of year, and a great Christmas gift from Celina Grace to her readers. There is a crime involved, but I especially enjoyed just knowing more about Kate in her personal feelings. Why would a local derelict come to the local police station with an angelic blonde 18-month old baby girl saying, "her name is Joy!" right before Christmas? Especially when a distraught couple has moments before come in claiming their 18- month old baby daughter, Sophia, has been kidnapped? Kate's intuition as a police officer quickly uncovers much beyond the surface linking both incidents.If you're not already a Kate Redman fan it would probably be better to start with any of Celina's full length stories dealing more with her professional life as a Detective Sargent in Abbeyford. This is an excellent short story with a hidden brutal crime, but there's insufficient time to develop the back story explaining Kate and the other officers in her unit. If you start with the 1st Kate Redman story you will soon become a fan.

The seasonal short story is a free download on Amazon and although there is a Kate Redman Mystery series this can be read as a stand alone. Having just noticed the first in the series is also free I’ve downloaded that also. I liked the short glimpse of Kate’s personality and would like to know more about her back story and work life. I think this is a series I’ll enjoy.Detective Sergeant Kate Redman is last minute Christmas shopping when homeless man, Charlie, is caught shoplifting as she is leaving the store."Outside the shop. Kate stopped to let Charlie gather up the lead of his dog, Baxter. “Come on, then. Down to the station with you.”Once they were all in Kate’s car, she turned the heater up to full. Charlie was shivering.“When was the last time you ate, Charlie?” she asked. She could smell the booze on him now they were both shut into an enclosed space. “Kate has arrested Charlie on several occasions for petty theft and takes him down to the station on her way home and makes sure he gets a meal. He’s kept in overnight and released the following morning. But when he shows up again with a baby in his arms Kate is on the case. The baby’s parents are already at the station, having reported their 18 month old daughter missing. As Kate delves deeper, unwilling to believe Charlie abducted the baby, a terrible previous crime is uncovered and an investigation reopened.Good twist at the end. Although it’s a short, a surprising amount is packed into the well written story. Hints are dropped but still, it kept me guessing. The plot unfolds realistically and I love that Kate cares about, and treats, Charlie as a person in his own right, and as someone who is just down on his luck.

Roche Joy by Celina Grace may be billed as a short work of literature but it isn't short on dramatic elements! The author creates a story that appeals to reader's emotions in the creation of her endearing characters. The storyline grabs hold of you, captivating your attention from start to finish. The relationship between the main characters and the homeless man Charlie is truly touching. I loved the twist at the end where everything is revealed to the reader which clearly explains the background that lead to present day events! The author ties up any loose ends perfectly in a short amount of pages. I definitely recommend Joy: A Kate Redmond Short Story for Christmas by Celina Grace as a must read!
