Sometimes it works. I liked Pinker's Little Fuzzy book. The books Fuzzy Bones by Tuning and Golden Dreams by Mayhar both worked very well. Tuning's book in particular kept very much the same character.
Sometimes, usually, it doesn't work. Carvic's Miss Seeton series was great. The additional books written by Charles and Crane weren't even close. They just didn't have Carvic's way of playing with words.
