I'm not a good critic of these books, as I love every one of them, my favorite escape reading. Each book has the familiar characters and the CATS( I have my own Siamese) I've read all of them, including this one a couple of times, but still find it entertaining, and I know I won't be subjected to any weirdness, sexual violence or other stuff of our times, and will be informed by some new trivia or food in every book. She's a great writer for clarity and moving the story along...and aptly descriptive writing that is never ungainly or intrusive to the story....It is a charming world to enter, and I find no letdown in the quality of writing no matter what book is chosen. Forget our stressful complicated world for a while and pick this one up, or any of the others.

I love Mooseville and Pickax, and Mr Q and all the crazy people it makes me remember when I was a kid and the ice man delivered Ice house to house and we had party lines.

I love all the "Cat Who..." books. They are engaging and quick to read. I can't stop reading until I'm done with the book.
Wonderful writer! Read only once by me.
Another great tale of Koko and Yum Yum solving a mystery - I love these books and have read every one!
With his two cats, Qwilleran goes to a cabin owned by a long-time family friend for a few days. But from the time he arrives, things turn strange. Eerie footsteps across the roof at midnight. Local townsfolk become secretive. And then, while fishing, he hooks onto a murder mystery.
Love the "Cat Who" books. A quick read.
Great series of books by Lilian Jackson Braun. Really good reading and entertaining.
