Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Can best be compared to that cosiest of feelings - having a purring cat on your lap
The tale is as cosy as an hour spent with your favourite cat
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
Entertaining and absorbing mysteries which, in the tradition of all good whodunnits, keep you guessing right to the end
The entanglement is better than a Christie and the cat descriptions are terrific
The ideal bedtime tales for grown-ups
Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
Most detectives do their legwork on two legs. A few, however, do it on four...
Braun writes with charm and sureness
