Book Reviews of The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers (Cat Who...)

Book Review: 60 Whiskers
Summary: 2 Stars

Oh dear, oh dear! I was looking forward to the latest Cat Who... book with my usual anticipation, but the author appears to have sleepwalked her way through it.I know that Miss Braun is now a very old lady but surely her publishers should have known better? The "crime" is very slight indeed (involving a bee- sting victim) and hardly developed, indeed, it's difficult to extract any sense of continuity from the all the goings on, which include a local theatre production of "Cats", a display of Art Hats (don't ask) and a new "senior centre". Familiar faces appear briefly but do not seem to contribute to the development of the story. New characters are not developed at all. There are two sharp shocks involving Polly and the famous apple barn, but Koko and Yum Yum barely get a look in, indeed, even the eponymous whiskers are treated to a cop-out at the end! Where is the wit and humour? Where, in fact, is the involving development of both crime and characters? Missing, I regret to report. I have loved this series and it's a shame to see it so diminished: I would recommend that Cat Who... lovers avoid this like the plague.
