The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts ESL ReadAlong 10-15% Slower Pace

The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts ESL ReadAlong 10-15% Slower Pace - Lilian Jackson Braun Funny how rereading after many years a book you can find yourself going how could I not see this? This being how Braun just performs character assassination on Polly very early own in the series. Rereading this was painful. Not only Polly Duncan competent woman goes gaga on her kitten (we all do that at least once in our life) she just goes overboard and Qwill's reactions are so dismissive it almost made me close the book but I wanted to see who was the culprit (I didn't remember the whole Goodwinter mystery drama). Still there are some good things : like the small town secrets that everyones knows but keep out of family loyalty, greed etc. The young couple with the goat farm is interesting (they probably gonna end up dead or turn villain eventually considering how Braun operates).
