Good Essays

Happy Holidays! You probably need a break from searching for all the gifts for your friends and family, so why not take a break and look into this questioning and suspenseful novel? Check out my review to see if you’re interested:

I never liked mysterious novels, but this novel sure did change that opinion. The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell is the 28th novel written in the Cat Who series by Lilian Jackson Braun. Reading this novel I perceived that it’s targeted to all age groups who simply enjoy suspicion and visionary.

She was like Yum Yum to me;
