 the cat who tailed a theif January 7, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
One Of The Finest Cat Who... Books made October 25, 2000

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!

Following her whimsical and informative style, Lilian Jackson Braun weaves another clever tail(?) bringing joy and delight to all of her faithful followers. Quilleran and Koko pursue clue after clue to resolve the death of a rich and attractive woman with plenty of fun along the way Another delightful tale and a great light read.
A perfect score, as usual! July 29, 2000

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.

This is the 19th of the series. I do agree with some others that there weren't quite as many surprises in this one but it was still good. Braun's specialty (in my opinion) is character development, and as a couple of other reviewers have mentioned, the characters are written in so much detail that after reading the books we come to feel they are real people! I especially enjoyed getting to know Wetherby Goode, who has previously been something of a joke. Also I liked the cat naming information and the "tales" Qwill was collecting. I wish that the first death in the book had been investigated more, and I wish that the second death hadn't occurred at all. (That is one thing I don't like - Ms. Braun occasionally kills off a character that I have come to like!) P.S. If you haven't read any of these books, start at the beginning and read them in order. The character development will be much more evident. First is The Cat Who Could Read Backwards. P.S.2 - Please, no Sean Connery playing Qwill. Maybe Sam Elliot - but perhaps someone a little more substantial physically? Why haven't these been made into movies by now?
