The Cat Who Played Brahms by Lilian Jackson Braun
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another of the clunky Braun tales. Drawn out prose wrapped up too quickly and too neatly and too unbelievable. Odd reading these as I run the ‘Midsomer Murder’ series that has the same formula. The HUGE plus of these books are the cats that Braun knows how to write better than any other I’ve read.
The characters are still a bit much with settings loosely written. A plot that should be tighter. The writing done very well.
Still a good story and fun little asides. Also, I’m now writing for a publication and this motivates me more to get the typing done. Something the main character has trouble doing in this volume.
I’ll continue to the next.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
