Publisher Description

After five years of legal formalities, Jim Qwilleran has officially inherited his freedom and a fortune, which leaves him with a serious dilemma. What should he do now? Seeking a place of peace and isolation to make up his mind, he heads to the Potato Mountains for the summer. But Qwill lands in the middle of controversy, not solitude.

The mountains are a haven for the independent, roughneck descendants of Prohibition-era moon-shiners. The valley is home to developers eager to turn the pristine Potatoes into a giant tourist trap. To make matters more complicated, a Tater, as the mountain folk are called, has been convicted of the murder of millionaire developer J.J. Hawkinfield. Some people swear the wrong man was convicted, and Qwill is inclined to agree when he hears what transpired before the trial.

But if Forest Beechum didn't do the dirty deed, who did? With Qwill, Koko, and Yum Yum on the case, the killer won't get away with murder.

"I found this at the library paperback exchange (they put the paperbacks on shelves and you don't have to check them out, you just write down how many you want on the clipboard, and you can bring them back whenever you want, or bring different ones back, or keep it, or whatever--somehow it works) while looking for books I could read without encountering explicit love scenes or swear words. I enjoyed the book very much. The cats' antics made me laugh out loud several times, and I enjoyed Qwilleran's ability to quickly make friends and figure out a mystery. The ending was a bit odd. Not all the loose ends were wrapped up. But all in all I enjoyed it and plan to read more of Lillian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who" series."

    " I have read almost all the books in this series but found this one I hadn't. I loved these books from the first one I found at my local library. They are a fun, not serious, read. Cats solving mysteries are in themselves a mystery. I know there will be no more of these and that makes me very sad. I recommend these to everyone. "

    " I always keep her reviews short as I don't want to right too much so I can get to the next of her books. I love them and am not looking forward to when they end. "

    " I have no idea why I like these book so much (Qwill is quite a snob and don't even get me started on Polly), but I really do, and this was possibly one of the best that I've read so far. I also liked how it was a lead in to Braun's next book. That was fun and smart - it definitely made me want to read the next. "

    " This is Number 13 of the Series. It takes place in the Potato Mountains where Qwill and the cats have gone to decide where to go next. It was a fun read as usual. Braun has an active imagination...incorporating all the words that can be used to describe or in lieu of the word "potato". "

    " A fun read, but not the most engaging in the series. Takes a while to get into the mystery, which isn't all that compelling. Still enjoyable though because of the delicate style and engaging characters, "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " This book has been sitting on my shelf for years, so I finally decided to give it a shot. Let's just say that I would have enjoyed it more as a pre-teen, but now, as an adult, the barrage of exclamation points and adjectives just really ruined the whole thing. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Is the murderer the estranged daughter or the interior decorator? And what about Yum-Yum? Is she losing all her fur due to allergies, or is it something more sinister? I finished it, and I cannot tell the answer to these question. But, this much I will say...never trust those mountain people! "

    " Didn't seem to finish properly - yes, the murderer was found, but it ended up being left in confusion. Also, Qwill's "marvellous moustache" seemed somewhat irritating. "

    " A fun read. I'd heard of this series but hadn't read any of the books until now. Having catsat two Siamese and now living with two barn cats, I enjoyed the comic relief and plot twists that Koko and Yum Yum provided. Good brain candy for a sick and stressed grad student. "

    " I like this Cat Who novel the best of the collection so far. Jim Qwilleran goes off to the Potato Mountains to rethink his life plans. He doesn't do much of that as he becomes very interested in the issues of the mountain people, the Taters vs. the Spuds. "
