Publisher Description

Back in Pickax, Jim Qwilleran expects to resume a quiet life, but the people and animals of Pickax have other ideas. A noisy cardinal wakes him every morning. Nosy neighbors drop by uninvited, and the Siamese misbehave, even sneezing on guests. As if they weren't bad enough, Qwill's long-time companion acts as though she is in love, with another man.

But worst of all, Qwill finds a body in his apple orchard. When Qwill's friend becomes the chief suspect, he embarks on a crusade to clear Dennis Hough's name and win back Polly Duncan's heart. Even Koko sniffs out a few clues. But will their efforts be too little too late? Not even Koko knows for sure in the quirky, engaging romp through Moose County.

"I really liked this book. It was great to listen to on audio books while driving or on the treadmill. When I take this back to the library, I will pick up another in the series. Being a cat lover myself, I loved KoKo and YumYum. Makes me want to get another cat, but one in a condo is enough. "

    " I like all the "Cat Who..." books that are read by George Guidall. He seems to have the voices down pat and his delivery is clean and never plodding. "

    " 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. "

    " Definitely a light read but I enjoy the antics of Mr. Q and his mystery solving cat, Coco. The running storyline keeps the series engaging. The murder mysteries remain clever enough. "

    " I don't know that this is such an amazing book, but it was exactly what I was in the mood for. Set in a small town, murder mystery, cats, fun plot--I think I'll read more of Braun's books. Mostly I didn't have to think or wade through vulgarity! "

    " A murder takes place in Qwills apple orchard and the director of the theatre club's Shakespeare production is also found dead. It takes the Siamese cats to solve the mystery. J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "

    " As usual another great story featuring Qwilleran and his lovely siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum. I never tire of these stories. This is one of my favorite series. "

    " I enjoyed this next installment, but I get the impression that Qwill will be moving on soon away from Pickaxe - he has itchy feet despite the wonderful apple barn he has had converted into a palatial home. I guess they are running out of muder victims, it's not like down below you know! "

    " I would have given this one a three and a half if it existed. I felt the story was better than the last couple I have read, and the pace good, and the detail more interesting. I enjoyed the descriptions of various birds too, but that is probably not everyones' cup of tea. "
