Love these cat mysteries. Even got a cat that is part Siamese cause the author make them sound so great.
About a male retired newspaper writed who becomes a millionaire and moves to a small town and helps solve local murders with the assistance of his two intelligent and precioucious Siamese cats.

This adventure is set around trying to figure out how Mrs. Cobb, Qwilleran's ex-housekepper, died. Will Koko and Yum Yum solve the crime again? Read it and see......

I started reading this series in college. Fun and an enjoyable read. Light mystery. Good for animal lovers too.

You know, I really don't much care for cats. I do, however, absolutely love these Cat Who... books. They are about as cozy as it gets, yet the slow-paced life of Qwilleran and his cats 400 miles north of everywhere in Moose County are just priceless.

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.

The Cat Who books are one of my favorite series of mystery novels. Jim Qwilleran is a class act and his cats Koko and Yum Yum are two of the best detectives ever. When Qwilleran and the cats move into a haunted house, their detecting abilities are put to the test.

Qwilleran and his cats find his ex-housekeeper frightened to death - is it ghosts - his cats seem to think so.

I love "The Cat Who" books. I'm rereading the series. If you're on book 10 then you're a fan already. This is where Braun really gets into her stride with the series.

wonderful characters in an interesting setting

Another great Siamese cat mystery ... although Koko doesn't have quite a lead role (until the end) in this one as some of the others. Polly's new kitten, Bootsie, almost has a more leading role. It begins with the sad death of Mrs. Cobbs. I really enjoyed her character and hated to see her killed off. :(

This was my first Cat Who.. book, and it won't be the last! I really enjoyed this book. I can really relate to the kitten proble Qwill had :-)

I really liked this book; I liked the mystery, I liked Qwill, I liked the cats. But personally I think Qwill is morally cheap. Other than that, a good book.

One of the famed "The Cat Who" books!
From the back cover
"When Mrs. Cobb heard unearthly noises in the antique filled farmhouse, she called Jim Qwilleran for help. But he was too late. It looked as if his kindly ex-housekeeper had been frightened to death-but by whom? Or what? Now Qwilleran's moved into the historic farmhouse with his two cat companions--and Koko the Siamese is spooked. Is it a figment of feline imagination--or the clue to a murder in Moose County? And does Qwilleran have a ghost of a chance of solving this haunting mystery?"

I really loved this book and the series!
