Publisher's Summary
The merry atmosphere, however, is dampened by the suspicious death of an out-of-town actor and the mysterious theft of a rare book. Qwill's research into the Hibbard House provides unexpected insight into these strange proceedings.

VERY disappointing
Don't even bother. If you, like myself, have been a fan of Coco and Yum-Yum for many years, you'll find yourself wondering if she switched editors -- or if this book was even edited at all.
She crams in every character who has ever made an appearance in one of her books, with a very weak plot that really only shows up in the last 1/3 of the book, and is never resolved. Please, Ms. Braun, go back to your tried and true formula. Your loyal readers do not expect iinvolved character development. We just want the fluffy, yet delightful formula you've always delivered before.

The books a mystery, the story is not.
Contrary to assumption, this book is not a murder mystery but actually just a story about a town that happens to have a murder happen during the story. There is no resolution nor is there any plot. This book wanders aimlessly and simply ends. The characters in the book are incredibly shallow and flat. They give no sense of reality. You don't feel like you are reading about real people at all. The "suspension of disbelief" that should occur in a good novel is not obtained and you feel like you are reading disjointed sentences mentioning characters.
Hopefully this book is a result of "The Author Who Went Bananas" and is not a glimpse into the decline of the series yet to come.

Revisiting once again!
I just adore the "cat who series" ! Lillian was a fantastic writer! They have carried me through some hard times in my life with laughter and intrigue. Now when I re-read them it is like visiting a old familiar place. George's voices are spot on and smooth to listen to. Enjoy these stories over and over again!!

George Guidall.... read for me!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Cat Who Went Bananas to be better than the print version?
I love George Guidall as a reader. I love this series but him as Mr Q really brings the stories to life.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I could listen to George Guidall read a textbook and I love this series so any chance for him as Mr Q is a positive in my book.

Excellent Read
I could listen to George Guidal read forever. As usual the story was like visiting old friends. An immersing feeing of comfort and relaxation . A little disappointing with the mystery unsolved.
