The Cat Who Went Bananas? That was actually one of the worst I've read - so many plot lines left dangling, no proper resolution, and worst of all a plot (the play) that allowed Qwill to indulge to the full the pretentiousness that had been building up over several of the previous books. Even Polly seemed to have completely lost any redeeming features.
There was a rumour doing the rounds of other book/readign forums that because of her age (think she was in her 90s or thereabouts around that time), LJB might have been either losing the plot herself, or possibly had a ghostwriter helping out. It certainly would explain the change in writing style and quality.
