From yesterday’s comments to zippykatz (still about the Cat Who mysteries) who said, “I read all the Cat Who mysteries. I think the last few were ghost written though; not nearly as good.”
I agree. I was greatly disappointed in the final one (the last one published, that is. There was another, not published), which as I recall had no real mystery to it. I borrowed that one from the library (I got a lot of the books from the library before finding and buying my own copies) and when I returned it to the library, the librarian said that she read it and she was disappointed in it too. I didn’t think the last 2 or 3 books were bad, but they were not up the the standard of the others. It was, as someone else here said yesterday, that she was just “phoning it in.” I still had placed a hold on the final book (as did a LOT of other people – I think I was around #100 on the hold list), but that final book did not get published. I think that was right around the time that the author died. I can’t remember the name of that book. It’s been a lot of years. I wonder if I could Google that?

I loved the poem, as usual. But apologies? From a cat?
