Loved it great series
I love the Cat Who books. They are easy to read with a twist on cats solving mysteries.
I have read all these books wish there was more.
It is a great book.
The super Siamese and Quill always offer a fun read.
I love Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese. The characters in this series are carefully drawn and the reader feels he or she has met new friends I like mysteries but am not a fan of gore, so the plots in the cat who…series are just what I want….intriguing without being off putting. Too bad this series has come to an end..
Here’s a light and entertaining mystery read. The main character and his cats are fun to follow while they work on solving the mystery.
This and every book in the series is entertaining if you want to read something that you can relax and enjoy.
I think the” Cat Who “ series is one of the first cozy mystery series. Now there are many in this genre. I do love this series and I have read them several times over the decades. They are witty, fun, thoughtful, and of course interesting.
I do recommend the entire series.
I enjoy these “cat books”. They are good mysteries and what I call fun reads. Love how the cats solve the crimes.
This was my favorite of the series so far. While the other books have taken a while to “ease into” the story, this one starts off with a question-raising punch and doesn’t let up as the mystery (which may or may not be related to that initial quandary) unfolds with perfect pacing throughout the book.
Great book. Could not put it down. Can’t wait to read more of these books
Love the cats and Quill’s relationship with them.
I love all the Koko and Yum Yum books!
A nice clean detective story with cats involved.
I really like theses stories. Fun to read, well written, but I wonder if Ms Braun feeds her cats those exotic meals?
Love reading about Koko and Quill
I have enjoyed all of The Cat Who… books. Cozy little mystery.
I collected the entire series and eagerly awaited each new installment. The two cats were the stars of the books and helped solve the light hearted mysteries.
I am so glad you put the first few books of the Qwilleran series at my price level.
Since I read as much as I can, the cost of my habit can be daunting. I have been reading this lovely series, over the years, but I jumped in at the middle and only knew of the beginnings, via back stories. Lillian Jackson Braun is a wonderful writer. Witty and informative. She is always worth the time to spend with her and her lovely characters… And of course the cats.
