Fans of Lillian Jackson Braun other “Cat Who” books will enjoy this book – a bit different in that Qwill is on his own (Polly is away on vacation), and a few other interesting twists that make this one of my favorites of Braun’s.
I love all of the Cat Who books and will rate all but the last few as 5 stars. I love the cast of characters, the simple stories, George Guidall narrating the audio books, and Koko & YumYum. These are really feel good books.
Read most of this series. Wonderful characters. She is one of my favorite authors

Another mysterious adventure for Quill and his cats
You either love them or you don’t. I am the former. I am not a cat owner. However I like reading what these funny, smart cars are up to.
Well written – good twists – I love the cat-characters- very true to life!
love ko-ko and yum yum
Previous books in series much better
Ending very unfulfilling
I call these the “cat” books only because there are quite a few and I can’t remember each individual title. Every one is a good read. You can’t miss when the team of Coco and Jim is on the track of the bad guys.
The best one of the Baum books so far. Loved it !
I generally love LJB’s books, but this one was a not as fun to read as others that I have read. Too much story and not enough plot.
these are delightful books. like going home to your family for a visit.
