Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Lynne Truss (Eats, Shoots & Leaves) is back with a mesmerizing and hilarious tale of cats and murder For people who both love and hate cats comes the tale of Alec Charlesworth, a librarian who finds himself suddenly alone: he’s lost his job, his beloved wife has just died. Overcome by grief, he searches for clues about her disappearance in a file of interviews between a man called "Wiggy" and a cat, Roger. Who speaks to him. It takes a while for Alec to realize he’s not gone mad from grief, that the cat is actually speaking to Wiggy . . . and that much of what we fear about cats is true. They do think they’re smarter than humans, for one thing. And, well, it seems they are! What’s more, they do have nine lives. Or at least this one does – Roger’s older than Methuselah, and his unblinking stare comes from the fact that he’s seen it all. And he’s got a tale to tell, a tale of shocking local history and dark forces that may link not only the death of Alec’s wife, but also several other local deaths. But will the cat help Alec, or is he one of the dark forces?In the deft and comedic hands of mega-bestseller Lynne Truss, the story is as entertaining as it is addictive” (The Sunday Telegraph) – an increasingly suspenseful and often hysterically funny adventure that will please cat lovers and haters alike. And afterwards, as one critic noted, “You may never look at a cat in quite the same way again” (The Daily Mail).

Everyone who likes cats, dogs, and people, not necessarily in that order, will enjoy this one!As one of the characters says, "We've always asked ourselves, "Why are cats so pissed off all the time? ... Well, now it's explained." The intriguing plot unfolds in an unusual manner, with a great deal of humor and erudition along the way. The strangest thing of all is the events described do seem almost plausible ... I especially liked the author's notes at the end!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A very short very expensive very dreadful book By Sara This book was not what I had expected, it’s neither here nor there. If it wanted to be horror is too bland, if it wanted to be noir it’s too gross, and if it wanted to be comedy the hilarity just isn’t there.The writing style is rambling at best, a deliberate choice from the author, but the why is lost on me as it doesn’t enhance the reading experience, the contrary I would say. (And sometimes to absurd see e-miaow)Some digressions are useless and boring. Sometimes the author gets lost describing things pointless to the story and for many pages. Like Alec unpacking…????The plot has some holes that the author tries to patch with farfetched explanations that don’t work. See Roger that doesn’t try to help Jo, if he didn’t want to talk he could meow and guide Wiggy.I admit that probably I wasn’t in the right mood to read this book. I had it on hold at the library and it was delivered to my Kindle precisely the moment I had finished book #1 of a series and was eager to start book #2, so I admit that this book felt more of an obstacle between books that something I’d enjoy. But even so it really fell short of the buzzing created around it.The price is ridiculously high (both eBook and print) for 256 meagre pages. If you’re still curious about it, I suggest you borrow it. But for me it’s not even worth the short two hours it takes to read it.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. ‘I was in search of silence and tranquillity.’ By Jennifer Cameron-Smith Alec, a retired librarian has recently been widowed. He heads off to a coastal village in North Norfolk with his small dog Watson in search of peace. But one night, while searching for mental stimulation, he opens his laptop and starts looking through a folder entitled ‘Roger’ which a former colleague had sent him. Inside that folder are files in which a man called Wiggy tells the story of his acquaintance with Roger – a talking cat, who sounds like Vincent Price. In a story that spans decades, Roger tells of how he learned to speak. Alec becomes part of the story, caught up in a world that contains a mysterious cat called Captain, kidnapping, murder and satanic cults. And yes, some cats really do have nine lives. ‘Purring was the way they sent people into a trance, you see – and then, when their prey was sort of paralysed and helpless, the cats would set to work with their claws.’The story moves at a quick pace, and I found the first half much funnier than the second. In the second half, well, things get frenetic and a little dangerous. It’s a combination of humour and horror that doesn’t always work, although I won’t be adding a cat to my household anytime soon.I’d recommend reading this in one sitting if possible.‘As if stories ever did end anyway.’Jennifer Cameron-Smith
