Summary: Winter with Qwill and the kitties
Review: Come spend the winter holidays (Christmas through Valentine Day) in Moose County! Be there for Hixie Rice's First Annual Ice Festival, celebrate Scottish Night and Lynette's wedding! If you haven't got the faintest idea what I'm talking about you will probably not give this a five star rating but if you have visited Moose County before you'll enjoy this latest trip to 400 miles North of everywhere.

The action begins with on December 23rd as Qwill is Christmas shopping. A series of petty thefts is plaguing Moose County. The crime escalates from minor nuisances to grand thefts and a respected member of a beloved County family is accused. A sudden death of a new Moose County citizen occurs during a trip 'Down Below' interrupts the more immediate concerns of the up-coming local theater production, a newspaper write-in poll of intriguing cat names, and preparations for the Ice Festival. When a popular member of an old Moose County family dies Qwill and Koko increase their efforts to get to the bottom of things. They solve all and bring the culprits to justice before the spring thaw. Of more importance to Moose County devotees is the addition of 'Wetherby Goode' the local radio weather forecaster.

This long running (this is the 19th installment) series of cozies has a loyal core of fans who wouldn't dream of missing a trip to see Qwill, the semi-retired journalist who is also one of the richest men in the 'North central eastern United States' and his friends both human and feline. If you like your murders in series and cozy join the annual trek up north, but if you prefer your crimes to be challenging or graphic travel elsewhere.

Summary: As usual, I loved it!
Review: I always look forward to Ms. Braun's books. Ever since my friend Patty gave me the first one. I have read every one more than once. Where else can you get a good "who done it" without having to subject yourself to gratuitous sex and violence. I feel right at home with all the people of Moose County. I sure wish Qwill and Polly would tie the knot "Scottish Style" and I'm sure glad Polly changed Bootsie's name...not dignified enough for a cat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific as usual!
Review: I have loved the Cat Who...series ever since I picked up my first one over ten years ago, and I still look forward to each new one coming out. I love following along and keeping up with the lives of Qwill, Koko, and Yum-Yum and all their friends. I persuaded my husband, whose favorite reading material is the sports papers and comic books, to read one, and now he's hooked, too. I hope Ms. Braun keeps writing them for many years to come.

Summary: Excellent Cat Who book!
Review: I have read all of Braun's Cat Who books, and this one is a great example of the books where she's really hit her stride. Koko and YumYum are throwing hints all over the place, and Qwilleran makes a new friend--Joe "Wetherby Goode" Bunker, who's a terrific character. Qwilleran goes around the North country gathering spooky tales, and these little stories just add to the enjoyment of the book.

None of the Cat Who mysteries are that profound. I wasn't shocked at the solution to the mystery. But for pure enjoyable reading, I recommend this Cat Who book very highly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Why no cat photos?
Review: I have read all of these books and wonder why there are no photos of the cats on the inside back cover. These books are passed to the retirement village and enjoyed by all. All readers would like to see what the cats look like.
