Jennifer Gray has been writing children's comedy for a couple of years. She is also a Barrister and she knows how to spot a cat burglar when she sees one, especially when he's a large tabby with a chewed ear and a handkerchief round his neck that says Atticus Claw. Jennifer's other books for children include Guinea Pigs On Line, co-written with Amanda Swift and published by Quercus. Jennifer lives in London and Scotland with her husband and four children, and of course Henry, a friendly but enigmatic cat.

I appreciated this book a lot, as the previous ones in this series. It is written for children but I appreciate the double meanings, the names the author creates for the pleasure of the readers. She is full of humour and send me in a fantasy world where cats understand human language and are able to solve mysteries and to track the villains!
