Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
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
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
The ideal bedtime tales for grown-ups
Can best be compared to that cosiest of feelings - having a purring cat on your lap
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
An offbeat series with a good deal of charm
Another from the series that delights so many
