"As always, I loved it! I actually figured out a few things before Jim did this time...I don't know if I'm getting more attuned to Koko, or she just slipped up and didn't make it as difficult this time..." — Nancy (5 out of 5 stars)

" These are charming and fun mysteries. I went through a binge of everything in the series when I was younger, but haven't touched them since. I remember really enjoying them, though, and both liking the main character and the twists to the stories. "
" Fast read - good brain candy; I enjoy reading mysteries and I like cats, so this series is tailor made for me, right? It's interesting enough, although I get a little weary of some of the characters. "
" I love The Cat Who... books, I've never been disappointed with a single read. "
" Always enjoyable Qwilleran and his two cats solve the mystery! "
" There Lillian goes again ham fisting clues in that the supposedly hyper intelligent cat has dropped. Lillian's research fascination of the book this time is steam engines, so expect lots of information about that in this one. As usual, emotions and logic seem to not be well conveyed. Still, it's probably one of the better books from the middle of the series. "
" Probably I shouldn't have tried to read this book at the gym. It was OK, but not one of the better 'cat who' books in my opinion. "
" As always The Cat Who series was fun to read.I liked the storyline and the characters.I will continue reading this series. "
" The first book I read of the series. I was not impressed by either the first reading or the recent re-reading. By luck my first impression of this series was very negative. The story is jumbled, very dark and appears to stem from a bad period in the authors life. "
" Always a fun, familiar read! I enjoyed how this story developed and kept me guessing as to 'who dunnit'. "
" That man Jim, with the help of his amazing kitties can solve all of moose counties little mysteries. This is such a refreshing series of stories "
" Lillian Jackson Braun devoted her life to these series, and I love the rich, detail she gives her readers. This was a great book and I look forward to listening to it or reading it again. "
" Wanted to get her name on my list as I enjoyed several of the Q books. "
" I actually enjoyed this book. As a fan of the Cat Who series, I find them quick and easy reads. I really like the cats and what they add to the books. "
" A good story 400 miles north of everywhere. I remember the run away train. "
" My goal is to start with her very first book and read them in sequence. I love her books "
" Newspaper columnist Jim Qwilleran and his crime-solving Siamese cats, Koko and Yum-Yum, live in tiny Moose County and solve crimes together. "
" This one kind of wandered more than the others, but it all came together in the end and was quite good. "
" I read this book years ago and enjoyed it a lot but somewhat less than some of the others in Ms. Braun's light-hearted Cat Who series. My favorite thing about this series is getting to know the people of the little town "400 miles north of everywhere". "
" Read this for book club at Goshen Public Library after one of the members suggested it. It was fun! and a well written cozy mystery with memorable characters. "
" I love the "Cat Who" books, but then I am a cat woman at heart. The stories are written in a very low key, subtle style. The humor is very tongue in cheek, but the mysteries are engaging. "
" More of Qwilleran, Yum Yum and KoKo :-) "
" Not bad, not great. Rich bank tycoon & train lover fixes up an old train for a benefit dinner run, then disappears with bank funds, leaving many people in financial ruins. Did he take the money, or...? "
" Another great story by the author. "
" Fun book on tape. I had to get used to the style of writing and the focus on his Siamese cats. "
" Another enjoyable installment in the series. Strangely, I was 'glad' to see the relationship with Polly struggle as she became preoccupied with building her house..... "
" This was my first cat who book and I did not quite finish it because I got interested in another book, but I plan to read it again. "
" Another awesome book in this series. "
