Surely you have that wrong - it must be the Cat who solves crimes with her best friend (!!!!????) the dog.

For some inexplicable reason I've always thought this was one of those 1950s/60s books (like Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird, etc), but when I bought it I realised it was written in 1999. Which was a bit of a shock.
It's good so far though.

Hard to get trodden on or dug up.

Now reading Trouble with Lichen by the great John Wyndham.
Dystopiatastic!
Have you read The Death of Grass yet? It's by the same guy who wrote the Tripods.

Oh I'd forgotten about The Death of Grass. Must get that at some point. Going to look into Web by John Wyndham too.
I used to love reading John Christopher and John Wyndham. They're the undisputed kings of cosy catastrophe.
Brendan Du Bois is very much a latter day American version.
Just about to start reading I Partridge (we need to talk about Alan), which my niece bought me for Christmas.
I am reading The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers. She is very good at doing eery, tense Gothic which bursts into violence in the last ten pages or so.

Is he worth reading or not? I don't think I've ever read him.
