5.0 out of 5 stars Clarence stole the Book!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018

What a fantastic new twist this adventure took Walt and friends on. I love how Robert Thornhill writes about history and brings it to present day and meshes with the adventure. D.B. Cooper and his escape has always intrigued me in terms of did he get away or not. The speculation was able to be woven into this book through the murder of Clarence's owner. Maggie with her soft heart fosters him much to Walt's lack of enthusiasm. As a cat owner, I could relate to many of the antics of Clarence and the presents, and his relationship with Walt. George Kuch performed the book perfectly. I love his distinguishable voices for the various characters and how he delivers the humor. I found myself laughing out loud during this book. Part of the topics in the story are light, while deeper ones are also present. Although not directly addressed, as a pet owner, one needs to make plans for their pets future in case of emergency or death. I so enjoyed how Clarence was able to find his forever home. This review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion. I also appreciate how Walt's view on Lady Justice is not so black and white, but leans more towards right and wrong. This story may be short, but its one of my favorites to date. I will definitely listen to more books by both author and narrator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clarence and Walt Make a Great Team

This is the first book by Robert Thornhill that I have read. Overall, I enjoyed it.

There were some moments in the book that did make me feel a bit like I was on the outside of the story and not immersed in it. It reminded me a little of being a newcomer in restaurant where everyone's known each other for years. The author did give some backstory details. There were many books in the series before this one, so I guess it's understandable.

Clarence was completely believable, which was what made his interactions with Walt so much fun. The story, or the two stories, were interesting and had plenty of excitement. I wasn't sure how I felt about all the little photos scattered throughout the book at first, but by the end I really liked them. There is some violence and language, neither of which seemed excessive to me. Would probably be a PG film, PG-13 would be a stretch.

I look forward to reading more stories by this author. Hope it's not too much to wish that Clarence makes a cameo appearance here and there.

Lady Justice and the Cat is my twenty-sixth enjoyable read/listen from author Robert Thornhill. Another entertaining clean read, filled with puns, one-liners & references to books & songs including the narrator singing. Throughout the book I found myself smiling a lot & at times laughing out loud as I listened to this book with my wife & son who did the same. Each book in the series seems better than the last as Thornhill continues to up his game. Narrator George Kuch again adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with his wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections, Kuch IS Walt Williams! I’ll definitely be reading more from Thornhill! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Up next is Lady Justice and the Geriatric Gumshoe. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018)

I had just finished reading a trilogy that I had to struggle to complete and I was was looking for something easy to read and funny when I ran across this little book. It was short, which I really didn't expect, and funny. The main characters are a bunch of senior retired folk who seem to fall into situations that need fixing. In this book, the added menace is in the form of Clarence the cat. I found it endearing that the book is illustrated with small pictures of a white-pawed tabby cat who expresses emotions very well. You can get your daily fix of chuckles here!

An easy funny read. Would be great for a children,s library say grades five to seven . An interesting story basing the arrest of terrorists on the experiences of a stray cat and the instincts of a woman on witness protection.

Walt and his muttley crew get involved in yet another adventure. This time Walt and his honey end up with a cat. I loved the interaction between Walt and the cat. Not being a cat person I totally related to his treatment by the cat. This was a cute addition to the story line. Once again George Kuch is the narrator again he is wonderful. I don't think I could listen to this book read by anyone else. In fact I read this book on my kindle a few months ago and in my head I heard George's voice :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Lady Justice, But Not My Last!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017

Lady Justice and the Cat is a FABULOUS book! I read it in practically one sitting today. As the caretaker of several cats I caught myself laughing out loud at Clarence's antics and photos. That might not have been so bad if I hadn't been sitting in the doctor's waiting room full of people. It was worth every minute and every strange look. I found myself showing the gentleman next to me the photos of Clarence. He reminded me quite a bit of Walt!

I have already picked out 2 more Lady Justice books. Thank you Mr. Thornhill for making my doctors visit easier to bear.

one of the better Lady Justice books ! Probably because I too have cats, and know how they can be, but the totally appropriate pictures in the book alone, make it worth reading. Great job and thanks for the great price ! I got several of the books for free, and this one was only 99 cents. Double worth while ! Will keep on reading !

Based on the awards the author has received I expected better writing. The story was amusing, until racial and cultural stereotypes were brought into the story. I wanted to like this in the beginning, but by the end I just couldn't.

I wanted to like this book because of the cat, but I couldn't. Perhaps it was the writing style, perhaps the formatting, but it just didn't work for me. However, use 'Look Inside' to do a skim before deciding for yourself. Others have certainly enjoyed it!
