Comments

I love the Cat Who series. They are nice cozy fun mysteries. It is one of the reasons I moved back north. I am not sure what happened to Ms. Braun, but this was not her best. It felt unfinished and left too many things unfinished. The barn just burns and Qwill is okay with this? Polly goes to Paris and decides to not return? Are you kidding me?

These have been topics of discussion in the library as people who love the series. I personally keep waiting for the "just kidding, it wasn't finished," note. I guess it isn't coming.
