This is my favorite "Cat Who" book! I really like the style coupled with a little more "action" in the mystery. Great read!
One of the better Cat Who Series Books
I enjoy all of the "Cat Who..." books.

I read all the books in this light-hearted series one after another and really enjoyed them. The cat KoKo and his feline partner, Yum Yum, are endearing. Their owner is a former newspaper reporter, James Qwilleran. They live in a small town with lots of interesting residents. James can't seem to avoid murders though he sure would like to. The series ended abruptly with unresolved relationships due to the author's death at 97.
Rumors abound that a missing backpacker has been abducted by aliens, and it looks like Jim Qwilleran's sedate summer may be interrupted by an investigation-with the help of his own little aliens, Koko and Yum Yum. And when the backpacker's body turns up-and transplanted Floridian Owen Bowen is found dead soon afterward-the search for intelligent life turns into a close encounter with a killer.
Jim Qwilleran is a column writer who has inherited millions of dollars. He sat up a trust fund & moved up north where he lives with his two cats, Yum Yum & Koko who helps him solve mysteries. Thess books are light reading & a must for cat lovers.
These books provide a light hearted read. I was disappointed in the "hokiness" of this one.
UFO's in Mooseville? Another wonderful mystery adventure for Qwill and his siamese sidekicks Koko and Yum Yum.
This is one of the better Cat Who books. The characters are better developed than earlier books. I thouroughly enjoyed this book.
UFOs and a missing backpacker...

I am devoted to the "Cat Who..." series. I especially like the earlier ones, like this one, rather than the more recent ones.
I didn't enjoy it as much as the other books in this series. I guess the whole alien is a little too far fetched for me.
As always, this Cat Who story is a twist of details which add up to the answer to the "who dunit" question. Always fun.
Number 21 in a good mystery series. Are UFO's in Mooseville? Read and find out.
The whole series are great! A mix of mystery and small-town life.
The story line is getting a little stale and the Author is is either doing it for money or generally cares about the books storline enough to keep pushing it.

I hadn't read one of these in years, so I really enjoyed this one. It was relaxing without being cloying. I didn't guess who did it. I would recommend it.
I ordered this book from PBS and received an abridgement. Please, if you are selling this book on cassette, make sure you are listing the UNABRIDGED version under this ISBN, not an abridged version. This will alleviate a lot of frustration for many members on PBS.

...eh ?
This book was a really cute read. Hiwever, it has little to nothing to do with the book description. It was esentially the day to day commings and goings of Mr.Q and his kitties while on vaca. There was little to no discussion of the backpapacker death. And we really heard absolutely nothing about the death of the restaurateur. His wife is occasionally mentioned and then wham the beginning of last chapter it's just TA DA!!!! Here's what happened.
I really dont understand how this was published with a story described as it was. Its well written grammatically but it seems that Ms. Braun went off on a few tangents and the editors kept it all in and basically said "Hey, Lil, stick in a few sentences about the murders, don't forget that's what the book is supposed to be about". And she remembered oh yeah and just stuck them in Willy nilly as a complete after thought.
