Review:Like the majority of other reviewers, I will give this advice to first time readers. Do not read this book. Go get the first ten and then stop. You will have the pleasure of experiencing the real Cat Who series. If you sit back, enjoy them and then stop you will avoid the rip off feeling of getting suckered once again by a money hungry publisher.
Each time I see a new Cat Who book come out I always swear I will not give in and waste my time reading it unless it starts with the phrase "Qwi... Read more
Review:... This 25th installment of Lilian Jackson Braun's (or is it? Is it her? Or a series of "ghostwriters?") "Cat Who �" series is better than some of the recent lack-luster droppings, but far less than the gems in the beginning.
Either LJB needs to keep notes of the back stories, or her ghostwriters need to confer with one another. Remember, in the last episode, librarian/lady friend Polly was traipsing around the globe, sending Postcards back to Qwill and his cats about the mysterious Walter?... Read more
Review:I am never disappointed with a Cat Who book! Always a great, interesting story and all the climax' in this hold my attention. Every time I sat down to read I didn't want to put it down. Great book for my kindle fire, I intended to get more Cat Who to read on my kindle. Read more
Review:Will always have Lilian Jackson Braun's characters as my friends and revisit them frequently. Sorry she is no longer with us to continue the saga of Koko The Cat Who and his charming female companion YumYum but they will always be ageless. Read more
Review:I really enjoyed reading an early "The Cat Who..." book. I have been a fan of Lillian Jackson Braun for a long time, but have not read many of the early books. This one gives you the background on how Yum Yum joined the family. I look forward to reading other early books. Read more

Review:When "The Cat Who" series began Jim Qwilleran was a Chicago crime reporter who owned two Siamese cats, Koko and YumYum, and solved mysteries. In time Qwill inherited billions, moved '400 miles north of everywhere' to Pickax, became a newspaper columnist, met a lot of interesting locals, and continued to solve crimes. I've enjoyed many books in this quirky series, where Koko uses his 'kitty intuition' to help Qwill investigate. Eventually, though, the series ran out of steam and this book is a di... Read more
Review:Jim Qwilleran is a little anxious. He wants - needs - the job he is interviewing for with the managing editor of the Daily Fluxion, circulation 427,463. A recently divorced man in his 40's, on the wagon, he hasn't had a steady job for a long time. He is looking for a fresh start as, hopefully, the crime reporter, his speciality before he hit the skids. When he accepts a position on the newspaper as the Art feature writer, he's grateful for the job, no matter how rueful he feels about the demotio... Read more
Review:I enjoyed this book because it was light reading. The story line was easy to follow, as were the characters. The perception of a cat's attitude toward people made for humor and enjoyment. I also enjoyed the narration by the person who took care of koko. I looked forward to finding out how the crime was solved. It stimulated my interest in reading other books in this series. Read more
Review:I've collected the entire "The Cat Who..." series because I loved reading the books over and over. They are fun to read. Lilian Jackson Braun has an excellent vocabulary and a fun way with words. She obviously does research on the areas she covers and the time frame she writes about, which is some time ago but within a 60 or 70-year-old's recollection. Her murder mysteries center on an eccentric and very rich bachelor who has lady friends but never marries. He's constant in his own way to a woma... Read more
