I loved this book. I had read some of Ms. Braun’s earlier works but had not met Qwilleran the hero in this book. I loved the whimsical nature of the book and the intelligence of Qwill and Koko (one of his 2 Siamese cats) and the positive nature of the book. Even in the event of murder the book was very entertaining. I look forward to reading more in the series.
I really like all of these books. Fast, entertaining, kind of goofy and I like cats
this book is so cute love them all
I read these books years ago. Charming cozy mysteries.
I thoroughly enjoy this series and this one doesn’t disappoint! Always an enjoyable easy read. I usually read them in one sitting!
Even people who are not cat lovers like these books. The cats in the story are so lovable.
Long time favorite author. Always worth reading!
Any book that has these two cats in it is a winner
Read every one in this series…great
another of The Cat Who Series I read this in high school and loved it was glad to see the series back enjoyed it very much
Love this series! All of the books are great!
I think I have read most of her books, but I may have lost track. Jim Q and and cats make for a fantastic to read mystery series.
Good reading when I am commuting on public transportation. Own a cat, so like the descriptions of the antics of the owner’s cats.
I love Quill and his cats.
I love all of the “Cat Who…” books. The characters are interesting with their individual personality quirks. The plots are fun with unexpected twists here and there. Best of all, there is no cruelty, violence or child abuse. Just a fun relaxing read. Enjoy!
Sorry but I wouldn’t recommend it. I love cats and I love mysteries, but I just didn’t enjoy this book
Love the cats, great book.
I love all of the books in this series and have read all of them. Sure, it might be a bit fanciful that the cats are as intelligent as Qwill makes them out to be, but it captures one’s imagination better than some other books about cats’ supposed abilities. Qwill is a lovable character that makes you wish there was someone like that in your circle of friends. I’m collecting them on my e-reader so I can re-read them without having to make storage space for the entire series.
Another enjoyable mystery. Just a fun light read.
Not the best storyline of the series.
