Ruth's First Christmas Tree

It is Kate's second Christmas and Ruth wants her to have a proper Christmas with a tree.  Unfortunately Kate and Flint the cat knock the tree down while Ruth is visiting with her friend Cathbad in the kitchen.  Frustrated, Ruth sets the tree aside.

The following evening Ruth asks Cathbad to babysit for her while she attends a friend's Christmas party.  He mentioned that their friend, who is the curator of the local museum, is ill.  Cathbad also indicates the reason why he thinks their friend is ill.

At the party Ruth finds the something that is the reason for the illness.  She returns home to find that Cathbad and Harry, father have set up the tree for her.  Author Elly Griffiths has written a neat little, short Christmas mystery, which will bring a smile to the reader's face.
