A Very Furry Christmas Mystery (Curly Bay Animal Rescue #8) by Donna Doyle

 

This is a sweet, wonderful story of dog rescue wrapped up in Christmas paper as a cozy mystery. Courtney's efforts to find creative ways to find homes for the pets at the shelter she manages collide with murder but, well, this is a Christmas mystery, so it's all rather subtle. Gracie the Golden Retriever is the ultimate heroine and, again, this being Christmas, not only is the murderer caught, Courtney's media appearances do wonders for the adoption rates. I loved the dogs, especially Gracie, and look forward to getting my hands on some of the other books of this series. It's a short, quick read with lots of adorable dogs and cats. What more could we ask for in a Christmas read?
