Really fragmentary but with some good bits that could have been developed into a satisfying story. (

I'd only recommend reading this one if you are determined to read every book in the series. Otherwise, skip this one. (

These books started out engaging and charming, but they've slowly degenerated into boring, uninspired rubbish. Ms. Braun needs to move on. (

This was the worst book in the entire series. Yes, it wrapped up everything, but in the most unsatisfactory way. I am very disappointed in Braun. It seems like she just got tired of writing so she spitefully made bad things happen to the characters. If you like this series, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. (

Another enjoyable book from the The Cat Who series. I don't want to post any spoilers but one of the main characters did something quite surprising (no, not Koko or Yum Yum)... (

Overheard at an alfresco party in Moose County, 400 miles north of everywhere:

Woman in blue shetland sweater: "I have never heard of such a thing!

The man with the large mustache (a well-groomed pepper and salt) was Jim Qwilleran, columnist for the Moose County Something and transplant from Down Below, as locals called the metropolitan areas to the south.
