What is the author's style in The Cat Who Turned on and Off by Lilian Jackson Braun?

The primary use of language and meaning in this book, as it is with many books of this genre, is to draw the reader into the story. This is done in several ways. First, the writer shapes words and images to draw the reader's attention to clues, either actual or fake instances. Second, the author offers just enough information so that meaning expressed through dialogue, action and circumstance is simultaneously ambiguous and truthful. Third, the author shapes structure such as chapter to chapter, paragraph to paragraph, and line by line to heighten the reader's attention and curiosity.
