Never underestimate the perennial attraction of cat mysteries!
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
It's a Wonderful Life meets The Aristocats in this daft but endearing whodunnit

Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
Entertaining and absorbing mysteries which, in the tradition of all good whodunnits, keep you guessing right to the end
Lilian Jackson Braun keeps both paws planted on the side of charming
