The Cat Who Could Read Backwards

A great start to a real cute, cozy mystery series. I had trouble putting it down. The cat is so clever, smart and unique. I almost want a Siamese now. Quilleran is great; he does things his way and is easy-going. The storyline was awesome and the plot was spot on. Funny, some parts serious & other parts make you think.

I read this when it first came out in the 60s. I was sorely disappointed when she stopped after three back then; but delighted when she resumed in the 80s. Her last 2 novels in the 2000s were'nt as superlative but by then she was ailing and getting more help from her staffers. Books 1 thru 26 however are a delight. I've read them all. Over and over again. For a beginner reader her books are a great choice as they'll send newbies to a thesaurus and dictionary often. She inspired me to become a writer myself. Relax, suspend disbelief and enter an immersive world of great characters and to tongue in cheek wit. Her descriptive prose is evocative. A distinction seldom achieved in a genre she created: The cozy mystery.

I've been reading this series ever Since high school and When I move in UAE, I left all the copy I collected back at home,.. finding this piece gold my phone app is really awesome... I just hope Mrs. Braun is still here with us and we will have More awesome things like this. I even named my cat Koko...
