This review is from: Cambermere -Op/026 (Library Binding)

Although this is a well-written book, and the reader does stay involved with the tragedy and mystery surrounding the central character, I had to put it down after I encountered the poisoned kitten. I had just finished reading her husband's delightful book about his cat, Thermal ("The Cat Who Came In From the Cold", by Deric Longden), and was not (am never) prepared to read about cruelty to an innocent animal.

Even if it DID figure into the plot, I feel there could be better ways of describing man's inhumanity than to involve an innocent animal who sometimes fares very poorly from man"kind" in real life. There's just too much brutality directed towards these innocents in real life; I would prefer not to encounter it also in a work of fiction.
