Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Cat Who.... Series have been my favorites. I was excited to read this parody. What a disappointment. The writing was very pedestrian and very unappealing. Using the "gutter language of the times" makes me think of a young person who is using words to shock his/her parents. I don't use that kind of language and really don't want to read it. My suggestion would be for the writer to invest in a good dictionary and find words that are acceptable to most people who read good or even great books. Just because it is a parody there is no need for base language. Cleverness is in the idea not the use of poor language.

America's most beloved writer, Lilian Jackson Braun, author of twenty-four Cat Who... mysteries is now the subject of a mystery herself. In this spoof by one of her most ardent admirers, her beheaded body has been discovered in the men's room of a gay bar in Lower Manhattan. The police are baffled, and so it is up to Braun's eccentric writer friend, James Q. (Qafka), and his Siamese cats Ying-Ton and Poon-Tang to solve the ghastly mystery. Q.'s quest leads him on a hilarious, ribald chase that's a cross between a story by Lenny Bruce and Dashiell Hammett. Before it's done we've encountered Pulitzer Prize-winning Philip Roth, a sex-starved suburban housewife, a mysterious Hollywood diary, Britney Spears, an ancient secret society, and two gifted cats whose trail of urine and hairballs leads Q. and his spunky undergraduate assistant to finally unravel the riddle of The Cat Who Killed Lilian Jackson Braun.
