In this book the body of a dead man is discovered on the main character's property. James Qwilleran, a newspaper columnist in Moose County, Michigan, is preparing to work on a one-man play about the great storm of 1913 with the help of an elderly woman. The city of Brr is much too busy preparing for its 200th birthday celebration and the opening of the Pickax bookstore to worry about a killer on the loose. If not for Koko and Yum Yum, Qwilleran's two Siamese cats, this book would have been a complete waist of my time. I loved the clairvoyant cat who believed he could speak Turkey, cute! The characters were kooky and I was slightly amused by their names. I just don't know what all the fuss is over these books. They are highly overrated!
