The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell Audiobook

" I do miss Lilian now that's she's gone. I will need to find a new author "

" Light - no brainer - just whimiscal entertainment "

" This is the first of her books that I've read. I was expecting a mystery with some suspense and humor. Instead a I got a book that seemed to have been written by a novice. Not much element of a story if you ask me. "

" Really pretty lame. I had read a couple of these quite a while ago - they seemed to be more mystery oriented. This one seemed centered on the weird characters of Pickaxe, none of which were very interesting. There was a mystery, sort of, but it didn't really play a very prominent role in the book. It could have been that I was annoyed with the reader too... "

" I know that I only read these books because I like the quirky towns people but I think I am done with this series now. The books do not even have a little bit of a mystery to them anymore. It is just about how Qwil uses the K money to finance everythin in town and going to lunch and dinner all over town. The first 10 books in this series were great but it is time to say goodbye to Koko and YumYum. "

" Needs a good editor- several silly mistakes, like saying an event was sold out and then saying tickets were being sold at the door. And a meeting was set up for the day the 2 were talking and then one says "see you tomorrow." Also, begins with an accidental death/murder and nothing ever comes of it- switches to something else which is also barely discussed. Case solved in one paragraph. "

" I found this on a table in the children's section, but I'm not sure why it would be marketed to children. All of the characters are adults, and it's not particularly funny. It's mostly just a daily-life of a man with inherited wealth, living in the Mid North East (I'm still not sure what exactly that means). There's a little mystery in it, but it's very downplayed, especially for what a reader might expect based on the back cover. "

" Story covers events over several months starting in April. Qwill and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum are living in their Pickax converted apple barn home. Story events center aound the Pickax 150th birthday celebration. As usual, there is a murder which Qwill and Koko provide the solution to. "

" Nowhere near the best of the series, but always a fun time. "

" I love this series when I am in the mood for some light, simple reading. The community sounds lovely. However, this particular book was one of the least interesting ones of the series that I have read. It was very short. Not only did it come to its conclusion unbelievably quickly, the conclusion was transparent almost from the beginning of the book. I am glad to have this as part of my collection. However, it simply fills a spot in the collection. I would not recommmend this book to anyone as a means to get them hooked on this series. "

" no mysteries, really but pleasant stories "

" okay, I am not a cat lover and little did I know this was #28 in a series. Bored to death... with the story... with the cats... I'm halfway through the second cd and will probably return it to the library before the mystery even starts. "

" Another fairly typical book from the "Cat Who..." series. This one didn't even have a compelling mystery, but it was a quick read - pure brain candy. I am not nearly as interested in this series as I once was... "

" These books are kinda fun for fall back books. When I have nothing else to read I'll get one of these and read it. They don't take too long to read and this one was not one of her best in this series. The writing didn't flow well and the story was a little choppy. "

" Pickax's sesquicentennial. Leadfield family poisoned. "

" good, quick reading "

" Braun is still one of my favorite authors, but her writing is becoming predictable. Nothing outstanding happens in this book and you can easily predict the outcome of the murder mystery. "

" I think this may be the last "Cat Who" book. I'm really sorry to say that the series has gotten tired and old. It's definitely run its course. "

" Braun has pretty much written herself out. The book did not hang together well, and loose ends were left. The plot device for the murder was, however, ingenious allowing for 2 stars. "

" It was nice to return to a familiar town and familiar characters. An architect who is the nephew of the old Ledfield family comes to town with his fiancee, but the old Ledfields have mysteriously quit coming out ever since he arrived. It's up to Koko, Qwill, and Yum Yum to figure out why. "

" Not my favorite in the series, but still a great book. "

" Entertaining escape... Comfort for my commute! "

" I finally have to admit that the writing is going steadily downhill. However, LJB is 96(!) years old, and wrote this book 4 years ago, so the change in quality is understandable. I still enjoyed the story, although there was hardly any mystery at all. "

" I really didn't care for this book. "

" I think I'm getting bored from reading the cat who books. I just can't get connected with the plot or the strange older characters. "

" It was just ok. Some of it was funny. "

" The mystery was essentially an afterthought. As always, Lilian Jackson Braun writes excellent character studies about small-town life, but I like a mystery in my mysteries. "

" Waiting to get too the good stuff. I began this series a number of years ago. I like the mystery bit, but it's taking me a little bit to get through the set-up. "

" Not one of the better ones in this series, but still a good gentle read. "

" no mysteries, really but pleasant stories "

" Very slow & one of the worst ones in the series. "

" Light-hearted and lovely. Great literature it is not, but it doesn't pretend to be. This mystery is a feel-good breath of fresh air. "

" This had potential but the ending was kind of a fast forward and even though there weren't really any loose ends, I feel there was something missing in the middle. "

" wow the first books were great...these last few read like a jr. high student wrote them. I actually abandon this book - it was awful! "

" I think I'm getting bored from reading the cat who books. I just can't get connected with the plot or the strange older characters. "
