Summary "The Burglar and the Blizzard: A Christmas Story" by Alice Duer Miller is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Geoffrey Holland, a young millionaire, who is drawn into a series of engaging events that intertwine elements of romance, adventure, and crime during a snowy Christmas setting. The plot kicks off with a string of burglaries in Hillsborough, stirring curiosity and excitement about the burglar's identity and motives. At the start of the novel, Geoffrey is dining in a restaurant when he learns about recent daring thefts in the area that stirs the interest of himself and those around him. As the evening progresses, details are revealed about his family and the community's reaction to the burglaries, hinting at his interactions with various characters, including his suspicious brother, who later turns out to be the burglar. The twist in this cozy Christmas tale comes when Geoffrey’s life intersects with a mysterious girl he discovers amid the blizzard, leading to tension and a burgeoning relationship amidst misunderstandings stemming from familial ties to crime.
