This was light reading. Amusing but the ending was too easily summed up. And the danger never felt real. I'd like to try another one of her books. I did like the feline characters - I'm a cat lover and I enjoyed the distinctive characters that she created.

I was a little apprehensive to pick this book up, however I am somewhat happy that I did. This is really the first murder-mystery that I have read, and while it wasn't great it did open me up to a new genre that I previously didn't think that I would like.

Marion Babson does a great job at

developing her characters. Her characters were people I could imagine actually running into. They did not seem to be distant fantasy characters with whom I could not connect.

I enjoyed reading this book until the end. The story was built up and I was anticipating the end so much that I was disappointed. Her resolution was very short and seemed to abrupt. I would have liked there to be a little more insight into the ending.

Overall I would say that this was very readable and I will be looking for something else of hers to read in the near future.

Babson's jabs at editors and contemporary mystery writing are quite funny. The cats are also well characterized.
