Publisher's summary

America's most beloved writer, Lilian Jackson Braun, author of twenty-four Cat Who... mysteries is now the subject of a mystery herself. In this spoof by one of her most ardent admirers, her beheaded body has been discovered in the men's room of a gay bar in Lower Manhattan. The police are baffled, and so it is up to Braun's eccentric writer friend, James Q. (Qafka), and his Siamese cats Ying-Ton and Poon-Tang to solve the ghastly mystery. Q.'s quest leads him on a hilarious, ribald chase that's a cross between a story by Lenny Bruce and Dashiell Hammett. Before it's done we've encountered Pulitzer Prize-winning Philip Roth, a sex-starved suburban housewife, a mysterious Hollywood diary, Britney Spears, an ancient secret society, and two gifted cats whose trail of urine and hairballs leads Q. and his spunky undergraduate assistant to finally unravel the riddle of

The Cat Who Killed Lilian Jackson Braun.

What a shame!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I hope no one would enjoy a book that mocks good and moral writing.

What could Robert Kaplow have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not to have perverted a good series of stories.

What didn’t you like about Arte Johnson’s performance?

he was ok

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

All

Any additional comments?

The "The Cat Who.." series of books are a good clean read. Why can't this type of writing just be respected and not be mocked? For some reason I thought this book would be a similar type - not a total opposite! I don't believe it even deserves one star. Very disappointed I wasted my money on this trash.

Stinks

Foul language and uninterested reading make this book a real disappointment. The author and the reader are not worth your time.

The worst book I ever got on Audible.

I can’t even begin to say how awful & vulgar this book was and how disappointed I was with this selection. I can’t even give it one star for anything, but the app is requiring it.

Don't waste your time!

This was one of the worst audio books I have come across. I was expecting a witty and fun spoof honoring one of my favorite book series. Instead I received a book that ridiculed the Cat Who books and their writer and contained gratuitous sex and language. A very disappointing book, audio or otherwise. Audible.com, you should give a refund on this one!!!

The Cat Who Killed Lillian Jaskon Braun

I to expected a good mystery book by Lillian Jackson Braun, I didn't realize that she wasn't the auther until I statarted listing to it. The foul language and the subject matter all added up to a big disappointment and this is just the first chaper. I had to get up and check to see if I down loaded the right book. Wish I had read the reviews before I purchased it so I wouldn't have wasted my money on this trash.
