Editorial Review of The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers (Cat Who...)
Polly Duncan is off to Paris, temporarily leaving Jim Qwilleran without his lady companion. Good thing there's lots to keep Jim busy. Like a mysterious death from a bee sting that leaves everyone but Koko the Siamese in a state of confusion. If only the kitty with sixty whiskers would stop pussyfooting around and let Jim in on the deadly secret
Customer Reviews of The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers (Cat Who...)
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: The title and the book had nothing to do with each other. There wasn't a plot and at times you felt like you were reading a outline for a story. There were three mysteries with no investigations and two death howls but only one "murder". Please don't write any more of these books if this is the trash that will result.

Review Summary: Good grief
Review: The series has been going down hill but this excuse for a mystery is rather sad. I'm going to have to go back and listen to one of the early ones to get rid of the memory of this one. Just on more talented person who didn't know when to quit.

Review Summary: Shameful
Review: I've read nearly all "The Cat Who" books and have liked some of them very much and have been luke warm on several. But this one is simply terrible. There is no plot. There are a couple of maybe arsons that are never explained. There is a death that could be a murder, but we never know about that. The book just wanders about with little meaningless incidents.
According to some accounts, Ms Braun was ailing when she wrote this, but that is no excuse for the publisher bringing it out with fanfare. Oh, I forgot--the publisher knew it would sell because there are many fans of Qwill and his cats. It is an insult to readers.
There are all sorts of problems beyond what I've mentioned. For example, it seems that Ms Braun forgot that Qwilleran is an alcoholic and cannot drink any alcohol. It is certainly implied that he drinks in this book. Ms Braun also seems to have forgotten that there are two Siamese cats. Koko gets all the mention here, and I recall seeing Yum Yum's name but once. Exclamation points abound in this book, as if the reader might be tricked into believing something was actually happening if the description was filled with exclamation points.
I'll not be tricked into reading any more new Cat books. I'd rather remember the good ones nearer the beginning of the series.

Review Summary: Koko and Yum Yum where are you
Review: I have for some time felt the books have been very poorly done. 60 Whiskers has been the worse. It is as if someone has taken notes for a story and published the notes and left the meat of the story in the fridge. I have been very disappointed in the last few books. I keep hoping they will get better and back to what we had before, but I fear the end has coming or at least it should be. I see there is a new book coming out sometime in the future.

Review Summary: So disappointing
Review: Obviously not written by Lilian Jackson Braun. Even Qwill's "voice" was missing from most of the book. I hope the series hasn't moved to this new author. Awful. If you're a Qwill or Koko fan, don't waste your time.
