This is a cozy mystery set at Christmas time in a small town in Virginia. The story follows the usual crime/hunt for suspect/out the criminal mystery formula. If anything was unique about it, it was the animals and the role they play in defeating the bad guy. It gave me an appreciation for biting, spitting animals. I also liked that the girl playing the Virgin Mary on the Nativity Float was nine months pregnant. So there were a few little ironies and quirks which relieved the cozy mystery tedium.

I will be wild releasing this.
