 This was my Holiday theme read pick for the Creature Christmas and it was purrrrr-fect! (Yeah, I went for the cheap pun. It's Christmas, I'm allowed) This was a heartwarming tale that would be perfect as a Hallmark Christmas movie!

When Cait finds out that reclusive millionaire Balthazar Pottage sent eviction letters out to the tenants of his apartment building giving them 3 weeks to move out, she's determined to help the many people she knows who live there, Cait follows Balthazar's cat Ebenezer, back to the estate where she strikes a deal. If Cait can find Balthazar's long lost son, who was kidnapped over 20 years ago, then Balthazar will bring the building up to code and gift it to the tenants. It's a big task to solve a cold case and Cait manages to do it by Christmas. It was pretty easy to figure out what happened right from the start but it was full of holiday cheer and the spirit of the season and made for a perfect Christmas read.
