 Koko and Qwill do it again! May 30, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It's winter in Moose County, 400 miles north of everywhere, and there's a petty pilferer around! But when a charity jar with almost $2,000 is discovered missing, the investigation really gets going. Soon some of the pilfered items show up in the work locker of one of the community's best-loved young men, leading Qwill to suspect a frame-up. But there are plenty of other twists and turns in this book, including a mugging that turns into murder, a suspicious wedding between a young gentleman and a middle-aged widow (with plenty of money), and finally another murder. Of course, Kao K'o Kung knows what is really going on long before Qwill figures it out, but then, if you've read this far in this series, you should be used to that by now.
the cat who tailed a theif January 7, 2001
the use of animals, in this case cats, as inspiration for a sleuth i find to be remarkably clever. it gives the main character an added dimension, and makes him seem more alive, especially when worrying what his two cats are upto now. i found that i could not put it down until i found out what kaokokung and yumyum were upto and how their owner could figure out their little messages. i think that anyone interested in mysteries would like "The Cat Who..." mysteries by Braun.

Lilian Jackson Braun is my favorite mystery writer. She always keeps gross and explicit things out of her books and trails the adventures of Jim Qwilleran and his two Siamese Ka'o Ko Kung (Uh, Koko for short), the male cat, and Yum Yum, the female. In this particular book, Qwill is in for many surprises and Mrs. Braun did a great job. The suspense builds until the last couple of chapter where the climax and falling action leave you too ecited to put the book down. An elaborate plan by a criminal and his kleptomaniac "wife" leave Moose County in a swirl of confusion until Qwill reveals the real intentions of the dashing decorater. A must read!

This is by far one of the best of Ms. Braun's books. The plot had me guessing "whodunnit" from the moment it started! I have recommended this book to all of my friends and I definitely recommend it to you.
