Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Braun's disappointing 28th Cat Who... novel (after 2004's The Cat Who Went Bananas) mostly follows journalist Jim "Call Me Qwill" Qwilleran as he runs around Pickax City, Mich., getting things ready for the town's blow-out celebration of its sesquicentenary. Many books ago, Qwill inherited tons of money and set up a foundation to benefit Pickax. Now that story line has become a caricature, with Qwill's fund popping up and financing yet another venture virtually every chapter. The "mystery" concerns Nathan and Doris Ledfield, a wealthy couple whose only heir is an obnoxious, greedy nephew. When late in the tale the Ledfields die... well, let's just say that no one will be surprised to learn who was behind their deaths, or what his motive was. Lame plotting isn't the only problem. The characterization is not just thin, it's anorexic. Perhaps it's time to put this series, which once defined feline fiction, to sleep. Mystery Guild main selection. (Jan.)

From AudioFile

George Guidall obligingly takes us back to Pickax, 400 miles from anywhere, in this Lilian Braun offering. Koko, that Siamese super cat, dives from his master Qwill's balcony onto the head of a visiting architect. This folksy mystery has all the eccentric characters and kindly folk that Braun fans adore, and Guidall has his unique, and by now well-recognized, voices that bring the community to life. Fans can't get enough of the Cat Who . . . series, and hearing the novels performed by Guidall makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Listeners hoping to hear Koco's distinctive death yowl will not be disappointed. It's hard to imagine that anyone but George Guidall could make a feline hero so real.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat Who, Nov 21 2009

By	Joan Mcinnis (Mill Cove, Hubbards, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell (Paperback)

This book is just as great as all the other Cat Who Books by Lillian Jackson Braun. I love everyone of them , they are very entertaining and hard to figure out who done it until just about the last of the book so keeps you in suspense.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Bomb Not A Bombshell, Jan 23 2007

By	CLB (Devon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell (Paperback)

Normally, I am a big fan of 'The Cat Who...' books (I own them all), but not this time. What a bore! There is a lot written about the colorful inhabitants of Moose County and the 150th anniversary of Pickax - but where's the mystery? By chapter 5 I knew who the murderer was, who was going to die and why. There was no suspense. An extra unrelated murder and the deaths of couple of regular characters had no real ties to the rest of the storyline. It seemed like the author was just coasting along a familair path, not bothering to come up with any real plot to make the reader think. Reading this was a waste of an afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars RETURN OF THE FROLICKING FELINES, Mar 21 2006

By	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell Unabridged Cd (Audio CD)

George Guidall is most definitely at the top of the narrators A-list. He has over 800 unabridged novels to his credit, and an Obie on his mantle. When not lending his storied voice to a narrative, he's often seen on film and television. His delivery of Koko's latest caper charms and entertains.

You don't have to be a feline fancier to enjoy the adventures (perhaps more appropriately misadventures) of those two splendid Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. They never fail to give their owner, writer James Qwilleran (better known as Qwill) cause for concern, consternation, and cheer.

With the opening of The Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell" we hear that this should be a time of celebration as the town of Pickax is preparing for its sesquicentennial. However, Koko has other ideas. He's taken to practicing a minor form of sky diving - sailing himself off from balconies and landing in most inappropriate places.

When a visitor comes to Pickax Koko is one of the first to greet him. As if this welcome weren't enough the visitor's family are all suddenly taken ill, and it's up to Qwill to get to the bottom of these cat-astrophes.

- Gail Cooke
