Editorial Review of The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell (Cat Who...)
The residents of Pickax are about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. But in the midst of all the preparations, Qwill has to take time out to deal with Koko's strange new habit of dropping from balconies and landing in the oddest of places-and a couple that has mysteriously gone missing.
Customer Reviews of The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell (Cat Who...)
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Same old, same old
Review: The first few books of this long series were rather charming mysteries, if a bit too cozy, perhaps, but they have dribbled down to pointless treacle. This book is virtually plotless, with flat characters, silly diialogue, and a vague but over-sweet atmosphere. Abundant use of exclamation points does not make a flat story seem to be dramatic.
I'd rather remember the cat who books of the earlier entries in the series. It's time to stop them--now. I, for one, will read no more of them.

Review Summary: Worst Cat Who... book ever!!!!!
Review: I've read the majority of The Cat Who... books over the years. This one was by far the worst. The dialog was corny. If I had a dollar for every exclamation point in the book, I would be a millionaire!!!!!

Review Summary: clarifications...
Review: "The sad fact is that if Ms. Braun were still alive, she'd be over 100 years old now."
um, she was born in 1913? do the math???
I agree this book was not nearly anything compared to the rest of the series... it had several disappointments... however, as a collector, I am always thrilled to hear when a new TCH is coming out... Hopefully the next one will have been straightened out... or maybe if there is a ghostwriter someone could just nix this book & rewrite another in it's place, as if that whole book had been nothing but a freaking nightmare... I know the writing was!

Review Summary: The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell; The Cat Who Went Bananas
Review: The books arrived sooner than I expected them to arrive, and are in excellent condition. I am very pleased with the promptness and care shown by "Please-Buy-Mine" and will keep them in mind when the next occasion arises for buying books.

Review Summary: Qwilleran is great
Review: Amateur feline sleuths KoKo and YumYum again help reporter Qwilleran solve the mystery. This time, the Town of Pickax is on the verge of its 150th anniversary. Polly, Qwill's amore, has moved from Head Librarian to Manager of The Pirates' Chest, a bookstore financed largely through the K-Fund which came from Qwill's unexpected inheritance.
A large part of Braun's success is a reader's enchantment with Qwill, his two cats and his community. After an architect student sketches the interior of Qwill's apple barn home, a murder takes place at a family reunion. Qwill and his Siamese cats put together their senses to find out the who and why. The mystery plays a small part of this novel but it is fun to revisit the world created by Braun.
