This is a cute little, easy to read series. It provided a nice break from the 400-500 page mysteries I usually read and I look forward to having a few on hand whenever I need a little light reading.

This is the first in The Cat Who...series and I found it to be adorable. Rather light reading mystery that introduced the characters well and had some good twists and turns. It makes me want to read more by Lilian Jackson Braun.

What a charming story! Great introduction to a series with cat lovers in mind. Although the later books aren't as well-written, these early ones are terrific. A Down-On-His-Luck reporter befriends an outwardly finicky Siamese cat with a regal name (Kao K'o-Kung) and unleashes a mischievous mystery-solving sleuthcat named KoKo.

This is the first of the "Cat Who" books and is really clever. Lilian Jackson Braun wrote the first three books in the 1960's and then didn't write again for almost twenty years. I have all the books and read them over and over again. Wonderfully entertaining and well written.
