[.ca] Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell Unabridged Audio Cassettes (ISBN 0143059319)

A Bomb Not A Bombshell:
Normally, I am a big fan of 'The Cat Who...' books (I own them all), but not this time. What a bore! There is a lot written about the colorful inhabitants of Moose County and the 150th anniversary of Pickax - but where's the mystery? By chapter 5 I knew who the murderer was, who was going to die and why. There was no suspense. An extra unrelated murder and the deaths of couple of regular characters had no real ties to the rest of the storyline. It seemed like the author was just coasting along a familair path, not bothering to come up with any real plot to make the reader think. Reading this was a waste of an afternoon.

RETURN OF THE FROLICKING FELINES:
George Guidall is most definitely at the top of the narrators A-list. He has over 800 unabridged novels to his credit, and an Obie on his mantle. When not lending his storied voice to a narrative, he's often seen on film and television. His delivery of Koko's latest caper charms and entertains. You don't have to be a feline fancier to enjoy the adventures (perhaps more appropriately misadventures) of those two splendid Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. They never fail to give their owner, writer James Qwilleran (better known as Qwill) cause for concern, consternation, and cheer. With the opening of The Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell" we hear that this should be a time of celebration as the town of Pickax is preparing for its sesquicentennial. However, Koko has other ideas. He's taken to practicing a minor form of sky diving - sailing himself off from balconies and landing in most inappropriate places. When a visitor comes to Pickax Koko is one of the first to greet him. As if this welcome weren't enough the visitor's family are all suddenly taken ill, and it's up to Qwill to get to the bottom of these cat-astrophes. - Gail Cooke
