Editorial Reviews about The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell (Cat Who...):
|
James Qwilleran and his famous felines, Koko and Yum Yum, are back for another mystery-solving stint in the beloved bestselling Cat Who . . . series.
While the town of Pickax is swept up in its sesquicentennial celebrations, Koko has developed a strange new hobby: He drops himself from balconies, occasionally landing in the oddest of places. When a young man comes to visit his wealthy relatives, Koko plummets straight onto his head!
Meanwhile, a hurricane is brewing, and the visitor's family members soon fall deathly ill. Qwill has his work cut out for him as Pickax-as foreshadowed by Koko-is about to be hit by a bombshell.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Same old, same old
Comment: The first few books of this long series were rather charming mysteries, if a bit too cozy, perhaps, but they have dribbled down to pointless treacle. This book is virtually plotless, with flat characters, silly diialogue, and a vague but over-sweet atmosphere. Abundant use of exclamation points does not make a flat story seem to be dramatic.
I'd rather remember the cat who books of the earlier entries in the series. It's time to stop them--now. I, for one, will read no more of them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worst Cat Who... book ever!!!!!
Comment: I've read the majority of The Cat Who... books over the years. This one was by far the worst. The dialog was corny. If I had a dollar for every exclamation point in the book, I would be a millionaire!!!!!

Summary: clarifications...
Comment: "The sad fact is that if Ms. Braun were still alive, she'd be over 100 years old now."
um, she was born in 1913? do the math???
I agree this book was not nearly anything compared to the rest of the series... it had several disappointments... however, as a collector, I am always thrilled to hear when a new TCH is coming out... Hopefully the next one will have been straightened out... or maybe if there is a ghostwriter someone could just nix this book & rewrite another in it's place, as if that whole book had been nothing but a freaking nightmare... I know the writing was!

Summary: The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell; The Cat Who Went Bananas
Comment: The books arrived sooner than I expected them to arrive, and are in excellent condition. I am very pleased with the promptness and care shown by "Please-Buy-Mine" and will keep them in mind when the next occasion arises for buying books.

Summary: Qwilleran is great
Comment: Amateur feline sleuths KoKo and YumYum again help reporter Qwilleran solve the mystery. This time, the Town of Pickax is on the verge of its 150th anniversary. Polly, Qwill's amore, has moved from Head Librarian to Manager of The Pirates' Chest, a bookstore financed largely through the K-Fund which came from Qwill's unexpected inheritance.
A large part of Braun's success is a reader's enchantment with Qwill, his two cats and his community. After an architect student sketches the interior of Qwill's apple barn home, a murder takes place at a family reunion. Qwill and his Siamese cats put together their senses to find out the who and why. The mystery plays a small part of this novel but it is fun to revisit the world created by Braun.
