Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Another from the series that delights so many
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
This droll and engaging mystery... firmly grips the reader... a lively witty tale bolstered by sharply etched characters
Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
Entertaining and absorbing mysteries which, in the tradition of all good whodunnits, keep you guessing right to the end
Light-hearted originals... The mix of crime and cats [is] catnip to readers who like both
An offbeat series with a good deal of charm
Most detectives do their legwork on two legs. A few, however, do it on four...
Irresistible
The entanglement is better than a Christie and the cat descriptions are terrific
