This was more like reading A History of...rather than like reading a mystery. Our hero is indirectly involved in everything and directly involved in nothing so the mystery parts are explained close to the end and as the reader I was left with a vague sense that it had all happened while I wasn't looking.

The towns and their massive cast of characters are so richly detailed I felt like I could move there and call people by their first names.

Another fun and well-written book by Lilian Jackson Braun. I enjoyed the book and it was a quick read.

It's a Lillian Jackson Braun "Cat Who..." book. What more needs to be said? (Well, it might be worth saying that this one was one of the good ones, written before she got so old that the last few books have been ... not up to par, let us say.)

This time Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum take a vacation to the Nutcracker Inn.

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.

Staying in an Inn isn't quite what the Siamese Casts like but Koko manages to entertain himself with squirrels and dead bodys floating downstream.

Qwill and KoKo solve the mystery. YumYum is as sweet as ever.
