Publisher Description
In this New York Times bestselling mystery in the Cat Who series, Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, sense that trouble is brewing in their small town...
Times are a-changin’ in Pickax, giving Jim Qwilleran some newsworthy notes for the “Qwill Pen.” A new senior center is in the works—as well as a frisky production of Cats. And a local mansion is being converted into a charitable museum. Good thing there’s lots to keep Qwill busy because Polly Duncan is off to Paris, temporarily leaving him without his lady companion. But when a mysterious death from a bee sting leaves everyone but Koko the Siamese in a state of confusion, the kitty with sixty whiskers will need to stop pussyfooting around and let Qwill in on the deadly secret...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Diehard fans will best appreciate Braun's meandering 29th "Cat Who..." mystery (after 2006's The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell). Series hero Jim "Qwill" Qwilleran, columnist for the Moose County Something in remote Pickax City, Mich., gets involved in the local literary club, a new senior center and an absurdist play called The Cat Who Was Elected Dogcatcher. When Polly Duncan, "the chief woman in his life," goes off to Paris, Qwill is left without a companion for his various social outings. Incidental criminal activities include arson, missing funds and death by bee sting. Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum add the usual feline fun.
Customer Reviews
The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers
Having read & enjoyed several of "The Cat Who...." books, I was very disappointed with this last of the series. Rather than a cozy mystery, it is aimless, wandering, rambling & boring. The biggest mystery is, why did I waste my money purchasing this disjointed mess? Even Koko, as brilliant as he is, could not pull this read out of the mire.
The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers
I have always enjoyed reading The Cat Who mysteries, but this one is a big disappointment. It introduces a murder and arson, and then ends abruptly without resolution to either.
