Ressenyes
Very enjoyable. Melissa is very likeable character and Siddonie is a very bad baddie.
This is a wonderful series. Speaking cats that help to find clues and direct the police in finding evidence.
In the spirit of Sneaky Pie Brown books, a fun read!!!

It's a really cute idea, but I have to say the execution just felt kind of... weird... to me. The author is prone to describing things, especially the cats, in this slightly over-done, almost flowery-feeling way that kept making me stop and wonder if it was meant to be some sort of self-parody. I don't think it was, though, which is kind of a shame, because I think this could have been really fun if it had leaned into the absurdity of its premise a little more and thrown in some humor.
It did still have an entertaining moment or two, and I like the author's spot-on observations about how normal cats communicate using body language, but mostly I think reading it just gave me lots of distracting thoughts of how I would have written everything in it differently.… (més)
