Possible spoiler:

It is time for the ghostwriters who write in Ms. Braun's name to give it up. Possibly they could take a good freshman English course on their way out. The quality of this series has been declining for some years now, and since Ms. Braun is something like 90 years old, it's not likely that she's writing any longer. No plot to speak of. Sentence fragments. Characters doing things they would never do (Polly casually giving away Brutus and Catta?). Please, put the series down in a humane manner.

Go back to The Cat Who Could Read Backwards or Ate Danish Modern or Saw Red or Turned On and Off -- any of the early books, and then read this one, and weep.

As I read this book I felt like I wasn't getting into the story, felt more like I was skimming it over quickly. The ending was just an abrupt stop, as if she had stopped writing the night before and someone decided to print it that way. I looked to make sure there were no pages missing. Very much a let down. I'm with others, I don't feel she wrote this book. She is 81 years old so it must not be easy to sit and write a novel.

If you're looking for a good mystery..this isn't it...But, if you are like me and have read the previous 27, it's a good "letter from home" catching up on the goings on in Mouse County. The end leaves more questions than answers, so I hope it's not the end of the series...

absolutely the worst book i have ever read. i kept waiting for something to happen- i finished the book. that is all that happened. awful... if there were a 0 star on here i would give this book less than that!

HORRID. The ONLY good thing about the book is the cover art, the little cat faces at the start of each chapter and the paws at each topic change. The book was NOT written by the same person as the others. I didn't even have to try to actually READ it. Skimming like you would paragraphs for a reading comprehension test sufficed - and disgusted me. No plot. Very random. No flow. Definitely NOT the same author. I have read all of the other books, which are on the shelf behind me. I will NOT keep this one.


*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*
Someone randomly up and leaves, a main feature burns down, cats are just given away, no mystery until 2/3 through the book and then it isn't really a mystery as it goes nowhere.
*ALERT OVER*+

one word to describe this book: ATROCIOUS!

She needs to retire this series. This was AWFUL.

I was incredibly disappointed in this book. Definitely NOTHING like the earlier Cat Who books. I seriously doubt Braun is writing these books. It's a shame what has happened to this series. I enjoyed it up until the last few books but this one is by far the worst.

I was terribly disappointed in this book. When I finished, I, too, went back to see if some pages were missing, or if I somehow had accidentally skipped a chapter or two. Polly's actions are WAY out of character, and don't you suppose Qwilleran would go check out his loss? And what happened to the bee-sting girl? Why was it even mentioned that her kit was found in another room if nothing was going to be figured out from it. Why would someone write a mystery with no resolution? I was going to get this book for a my mother who has also read all the other books in the series, but I would be embarrassed to give it to her. This was not at all as good as any of Braun's other books.

This is the worst book I've ever read by Lilian Jackson Braun. It didn't have a plot until way after the mid section. I've read everything this woman has written in this series and this is by far the worst book ever.

Another great offering by Braun. Koko and Qwilleran are a remarkable pair, but there are some major surprises in this "Cat Who..." book.
