Like all the Cat Who books, this one adds a little to the background of the characters. It wasn't my favorite of the storylines, but it's still a nice read.

Ok, I read the reviews and people seemed to love these books. I have to say I was sadly disappointed. This is my first book by this author and will be my last. I foster & rescue cats so I thought I'd enjoy the series. ack. It was slow and ridiculous. I ended up skimming the last 2/3 of the book just to get to the end and see if the ending was as predictable as I thought...yep. Complete let down. I hope the next person enjoys it more than I.

One of the better Qwilleran stories. Qwill's on top of the world when he rents a house on Big Potato Mountain. The owner, JJ Hawkinfield, brought real estate development to the once peaceful Potatoes. But Hawkinfield paid a steep price for his enterprise, he was pushed off a cliff by an angry mountain dweller. Qwilleran, however, suspects the man is innocent - and Koko's antics have him convinced something's wrong. He may be making a mountain out of a molehill, but he's determined to find the truth. Even if it means jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire!

These aren't complex mysteries. but they are enjoyable. I like to read one after I've read three or four serious books, as a sort of sorbet ice cream to cleanse my mental palate.

From the book back:

Qwilleran - a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime. Koko - a Siamese cat with extraordinary talents and a flair for mystery. Yum Yum - a lovable Siamese adored by her two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most delightful team in detective fiction!
