Cats Prowl at Night by A.A. Fair
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
So far, my favorite entry in the Cool and Lam series. Bertha is on her own here and the bad guys better watch out!
Gardner is obviously having a good time playing with the Bertha cool character in this book. Seeing how far to take her and maintain a good story. He pushs the characters in all sorts of areas and it really makes the story come alive. I would have liked this to have continued into other volumes and drop the mystery thing and see what other trouble Gardner might have stuck her in.
The plotting is typical Gardner: Somewhat convoluted and overly complicated. It’s the writing that makes this a page turner, even if, at times, you weren’t sure what you were turning for. I’d mostly figured key elements early on and really didn’t care to see what happened to Bertha next.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
