Started with back story which worked WELL for the first ten pages, but got tedious about page 15 when the first probable murder,showed up. It lost me a time or two in historical detail and cat antics. All in all, a pleasant, cozy mystery for a lazy afternoon. ( )

I found this book (as well as many of the others of the cat who... series) delightfully charming and it kept my attention throughout. I think the ways Quilleran's cats try to indicate their thoughts are unique and I like the rapport between the cats and their "eccentric" owner.

An extremely good book as are all Braun's books ( )
