Hornet's Nest
Well, I personally enjoy cats who supply insights into a case, so Virginia West's companion didn't raise my hackles at all - but I can see how, if you're looking for realism and Psychological Depth in your police procedural, this first of the Andy Brazil novels would make you whine. Like the second one, this is a blithe romp, a cheerful piece of nonsense. I enjoyed it, and then forgot it to the point that I had to flip through it again to remind me how it went.
