Summary: THE BEST BOOK SERRIES EVER
Review: . . .move to Pickax (pop. 3,000) in Moose County (400 miles north of everywhere)!

Why? Because Qwill is suddenly very, very rich! He endears himself to the population of Pickax by setting up a foundation to distribute his new wealth for the betterment of the community. He is also dating the beautiful daughter of the local doctor.

HOWEVER. . .someone does NOT approve of Qwill's actions; someone does NOT appreciate Qwill's generosity; and someone does NOT want Qwill, his moustach, or his cats to discover a deadly secret.

Fans of this series will also appreciate the return of Mrs. Iris Cobb, Qwill's landlady from Down Below, and the return of Arch Riker, Qwill's best friend from the newspaper world.

A good novel, and one which lovers of the series will greatly appreciate.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The perfect murder mystery
Review: I am a big fan of the Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun. In fact, this was the first book I actually read from the series. I think I read this first book within the span of a day, and that was as a pre-teen. All the books in this series are full of captivating, edge of your seat suspense. Jim Qwilleran (Mr. Q, and Qwill) has inherited a mass fortune, but must inhabit Pickax county for a period of 5 years in order to obtain his new found wealth. In this story, he has just moved into the Klingoshen mansion with his 2 cats, Koko and Yum Yum. Koko has a crazy knack for sniffing our murder and mystery no matter where he is. And once again, his nose proves to hold the key, only this time by sorting Qwill's mail (only bringing those letter HE deems important). The antics of Koko and Yum Yum will make you laugh, while at the same time, setting the stage for a truly remarkable novel. I give this book (and the series) 50 stars.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: one of Braun's best cat-who books!
Review: my name is Amy Lauren Scott and i have read ten of LJ Braun's cat-who books and this book is one of the best. it is set in the rural town of Pickax,400 miles north of everywhere. i think Jim Qwilleran and KoKo and Yum-Yum make a mystery solving pair. i'd recomend this book to all mystery fans.

Summary: for fans of the series 3 to 4 for anyone else
Review: This 6th book in the series opens with Qwill, the new heir to the Klingenschoen fortune, trying to remember just who and where he is. As he remembers flashbacks cover the events leading up to the accident that lead to his amnesia, or was it an accident? Along the way Qwill, with the guidance of his cats, solves the long ago disappearance of a housemaid and encouters a scandal involving a the oldest most respected Moose County family.

Qwill's relocation to Moose County has been eased by friends, both old and new. His long time friend Arch Riker has come up north for a visit, a former land lady, Iris Cobb has relocated to Pickaxe to become his housekeeper. Qwill's romance with Dr. Melinda, begun in the previous book, is continuing. Other Moose County residents, both from the eariler Cat Who Played Brahms and new to this book appear.

This 'cozy' mystery will appeal more to those already familiar with the series although it could be enjoyed on its own merits by a mystery fan. A reader new to the series could also begin here.

Summary: Qwill's life changes!
Review: This book starts off very interestingly with Qwill not knowing who or where he is due to falling off his bicycle on Ittibittiwassee Road. This provides some very interesting reading material at the beginning because his best friend Riker comes to his hospital room and has to refresh Qwill's mind on his past. So, consequently, the reader is filled in on a lot of Qwill's life up to that point. Some of which we already knew, some we didn't! This whole book is, of course, interesting and Koko and Yum Yum are adorable. This paragraph from the book will give you a good idea about the cats... "'CHFFF!' The Siamese were still under the table. Yum Yum was looking for a shoelace to untie, and Koko was listening to the guests' voices with rapt concentration."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FULL OF SURPRISES
Review: This is number 6 in "The Cat Who ... " series. Qwill (now wealthy) and the cats settle down in Moose County. Mrs. Cobb, the antique dealer from an earlier book, joins them to manage the household. Qwill believes a murder has taken place and is determined to find out what happened. Like all the books in the series, this one is a page-turner.
