As the Highland Games approach, Jim Qwilleran and the citizens of Pickax prepare to celebrate their Scottish heritage ...a lot of mysteries to sort out - not the least of which is Koko's sudden interest in photographs, pennies, and paper towels...

You don't have to like cats to enjoy this book. These cat mystery books are the best.

Qwill is getting ready with the citizens of Pickax to celebrate their Scottish heritage with bagpipe skirling and tossing the caber. But there are rumors when a visiting jewelry dealer is found dead. His assistant is missing and the winner of the caber-tossing contest disappears as well.

a master of mystery- upbeat prose and amiable characters-braun keeps both paws planted on the side of charming.

I have really enjoyed the CAT WHO series. It isn't exactly realistic, but I enjoy the quirkiness of the characters and the continuity from book to book. In this book, readers learn a little more about Qwilleran's Scottish background, as he and his extroadinary cat solve yet another local murder. (In such a small town, it's amazing there are any people left!)
Meet prizewinning reporter Jim Qwilleran and his extraordinary Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, the most unlikely, most unusual team in detective fiction.
