46. The Cat Who Talked Turkey

by Lilian Jackson Braun (181 pgs)

I remember liking this series when I was a child. My grandfather had several of them and I would read them when I was sick. This particular specimen doesn't seem to match my recollection of the series.

The book, while essentially well written, was sorely lacking focus. The mystery was a little less than a side plot. It was rather a shock when it was resolved in the last two chapters and that was the apparent end of the book. I don't recommend this particular book in the series and I'll have to read around a bit more before I can decide if my childhood fondness was based on anything of substance.
