(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Pamela R. Levy. Boston in 1912 is the setting for a series of cases solved by a charming cat detective. Eileen O'Kelly deals with every type of problem from lost baseballs to murder and remains both hard-boiled as well as feminine. Although the characters are clearly human surrogates with nothing particularly catlike about them, the Boston scene is carefully drawn, and the descriptions, particularly of food and clothing, are delightful. Readable and clever, with a splendid female role model.
Reviewer: Ann A. Flowers
