This is the fifth in the Leger the Cat Sleuth cozy mystery series. In this installment, Leger has to uncover who is stealing Christmas decorations from his human Annabelle's garden. Annabelle has decorated her garden especially nice this Christmas to attract visitors in order to raise money for their town's hospital. This hospital is the place that took such good care of her husband, Hugh, when he was attacked in the first Leger episode that inspired Leger to become a cat sleuth. The hospital is in need of a new CAT Scan & Annabelle wants to help raise money to donate toward the purchase. Leger's investigation leads him to a very unlikely source of who is stealing the decorations. It also leads him to gain the assistance of another unlikely ally in uncovering the truth. Ms. Dearie is quite adept at keeping one's attention riveted to the storyline until you have found out for yourself how it ends. This is quite an enjoyable read, especially for those who may not have time for a longer novel.
