Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: It's a Wonderful Life meets The Aristocats in this daft but endearing whodunnit
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
The tale is as cosy as an hour spent with your favourite cat
Can best be compared to that cosiest of feelings - having a purring cat on your lap
A series which has more twists and turns than a tabby's tail. This whimsical offering will probably leave you wondering where your tom is tonight
Lilian Jackson Braun keeps both paws planted on the side of charming
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...
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
