Publisher Description

The good people of Moose County are in a fever of excitement. Not only is the gala groundbreaking for the new Pickax bookstore about to take place, but the town of Brrr is preparing to celebrate its bicentennial, and columnist James Qwilleran has been roped in to help with the festivities.

The groundbreaking, however, is marred by the discovery of a man's body nearby, on Qwill's own property, no less. Could it be the work of the killer who used the same MO in northern Michigan? And why does Qwill's sage Siamese, Koko, keep insisting that his human read him a book that Qwill can't stand? Then there's the sudden appearance of what seem to be wild turkeys, which haven't been present in Moose County for 30 years. Could Qwill be hallucinating?

"I like these books up when I am looking for some lighter reading. A cozy mystery where no one dwells on gore, sex and the language is decent. Qwill has retired to Moose County along with his two Siamese, Koko and Yum Yum. KoKo has strange insight and he howls whenever there is a murder...and over the series we've seen many. I listen to them on my ipod and George Guidall's voice makes the books a pleasure to listen to. He does have a talent for bringing the characters to life."

    " Wow! This was downright painful to listen to! I've read and loved at least 20 books from this series, in fact I just reread and enjoyed the first book, so I'm not sure whether these books lose something when you listen to them on tape, or if it's time for Ms. Braun to hang up the towel. I only finished this out of sheer determination, and the fact that I was driving a long distance with no other book on tape available, and poor radio reception. I'm grateful this book is now behind me, and will soon be a distant memory! "

    " Compared to the other books, this book read as though the author had trouble maintaining focus on her subject. She also shows an increased reluctance to kill any of her well-liked characters, limiting interest for the reader in the victims. "

    " For a mystery book,I was disappointed. It was mentioned on page 8 that a man had been murdered, but no real mention of it again until page 225 when the murder was solved. The book was really about planning and celebrating a town's bicentennial and a cat who talked to turkeys. "

    " Another fairly standard installment in The Cat Who... series. Lilian Jackson Braun has her formula down pat and she doesn't stray too far from it. The characters are still interesting and the story is a quick read. new words: corvidologist, quiddities "
