The Cat Who Smelled a Rat by Lilian Jackson Braun
Reader Reviews I think Braun really is writing these books...., September 16, 2003 Reviewer: A reader from Boston, MA ... because she's turned a 50ish man into a little old lady of 87. I know some 50ish men. They would not be seen dead in "jumpsuits" or "leisure suits". They do not spend their time as Q does: eating, drinking coffee, judging children's art contests, redecorating their homes. When they get together with friends it is not to view a new sofa or read aloud a new restaurant's menus, as Q does. (Honestly!) They do not live in woodsy/watery resort areas and then eschew all outdoor activities and virtually any exercise whatsoever. When duties require their presence at some location a whopping 30 miles from home, they do not pack up and move house. I snort my way through these paperbacks (free from the little-old-lady next door) and rejoice that my boyfriend is, in fact, a "well-built 50ish man" and *not* Qwill.
