Product Description:
The cats who saved Christmas . . .
The charming seaside village of Molena Point, California, leads one to expect a quiet traditional Christmas surrounded by family and friends—but not this holiday season. Instead of singing carols and climbing into Christmas trees, Joe Grey, feline P.I., is faced with his most difficult case yet—and that's saying a lot for a wily tomcat who for years has been solving crimes the police can't even crack.
At midnight in the deserted gardens of the shopping plaza, a stranger lies dead beneath the village Christmas tree; the only witness to the shooting is a little child. But when the police arrive, summoned by an anonymous phone call of feline origin, both the body and the child have disappeared. As police scramble for leads, the grey tomcat, his tabby lady, and their tortoiseshell pal, Kit, launch their own unique investigation.
Together Joe Grey, Dulcie, and Kit face their most heartbreaking case yet as they care for the child who may be the killer's subsequent target. Trying to sort out perplexing clues amidst the happiness of the season, they shadow a cast of colorful characters. But neither the police nor their unknown feline assistants are aware that they might have stumbled over the murderer and never known it, until an electrifying final scene when the killer's identity is revealed.
For years Shirley Rousseau Murphy has written tales that have delighted readers and critics alike. With her lyrical prose and fast-paced plotting, Murphy has created another delightfully absorbing trip to a magical place populated by unforgettable characters whom readers have come to think of as friends.

These three cats keep me wanting more. They are pure delight and there is a wonderful cast of "humans" to go along with them.

If only the police were as quick and competent as these cats are. This book is something that all cat lovers should read, especially around Christmastime. The team of three felines is delightful, and their care and concern for the child is heart-warming. This is the very first Joe Gray book I've read, but I'll be reading more of them.

A trio of cats set on protecting a six year old crime victim from a killer. The same man she watched gun down the man holding her. Was it her father? The body is taken from the shopping center and the girl hid. One of the cats calls 911 (yes, that's right.)
The cats and later the police is found and taken into protective custody with the extra help from the feline trio. They try to identify the girl and find the missing body.
Mysterious neighbors; intruders; pictures of children; broken locks and talking cats; all add up to a thrilling, fun to read, fast moving, complex tale.
This was my very first Joe Grey Mystery, but it won't be my last. Shirley Rousseau Murphy raises a question in my mind. Do I wish my five cats could talk? I'm thinking, No, but I'm glad hers do.

This book was on the usual standards of the Joe Grey Mysteries. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to more books about the talking kitties. By the way, I have read and own all the previous ones of this series.
