I downloaded this book because all the reviews were positive. Unfortunately, I do not share the unbridled enthusiasm of the other reviewers. The story line is interesting, but it did not take me long to figure out the connection to the cat. It was just too obvious. And the prose could tolerate some judicious pruning. Lou Harper needs to take to heart this advice from Mark Twain: "When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them--then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are far apart."' Mark Twain
