The good people of Moose County are in a fever of excitement. Not only is the gala groundbreaking for the Pickax bookstore about to take place, but the town of Brrr is preparing to celebrate its bicentennial, and columnist James Qwilleran has been roped in to help with the festivities.
The groundbreaking, however, is marred by the discovery of a man's body nearby--on Qwill's own property, no less. Could it be the work of the killer who used the same MO in northern Michigan? And why does Qwill's sage Siamese, Koko, keep insisting that his human read him a book that Qwill can't stand? Then there's the sudden appearance of what seem to be wild turkeys, which haven't been present in Moose County for thirty years. Could Qwill be hallucinating?

Not my taste but others may really enjoy.

Although I have enjoyed 'The Cat Who...' series for many years, this book was disappointing both as a cozy mystery and as a nice escapist light-read. The descriptive prose and wit that I have enjoyed from Ms. Braun over the years are sadly lacking here, and I found the book more a chore than a pleasure to read. The plot and dialogue were disjointed and seemed to stumble along erratically, while the character development so inherent to earlier installments in the series was contradictory at best and frequently nonexistent. I am saddened to see the decline of such a long-standing series and fear this heralds a farewell to the beloved town of Pickax and its inhabitants.

Being a cat lover, I have read all of The Cat Who... books. Although I thought the earlier ones were better, this is still enjoyable.

I thought this was one of the more well-rounded, entertaining "Cat Who" books the author has written. Several story lines to follow in addition to the cat antics and, of course, a murder to solve. Worthwhile read.

I love the Cat Who... series. This one deals with the town of Brrr, a new bookstore in Pickax, and wild turkeys.
