Publisher Description
The merry atmosphere in Pickax is dampened by the death of an out-of-town actor and the theft of a rare book. Qwill finds himself distracted from the events by his finicky pal Koko, who's been acting more fishy than feline. Has Koko gone bananas, or is he trying to let the cat out of the bag to solve the dual mysteries?

"Mr. Q is at it again, as usual. The thing about the Cat Who books is there may not really be a following of a plot, but more a following of characters 400 east of nowhere, and the small town antics. Koko the cat is rated unusually intelligent, and talented when there is murder a foot."

Cat Who Went Bananas Listener Reviews

" I have read almost every book in the series. This was as good as all the rest. I am just sad 6that it will not continue. "

" The cat who is finally losing its cuteness for me but I still read them because I can't help myself. An out of town actor and bananas? I think the term is called " grasping at straws". But what the hell it has cats. "
— Eyehavenofilter, 2/19/2014 -
" I thought this was the least enjoyable of all the The Cat WHo... books. It took until the last 2 chapters before the mystery came into play. The first 3/4 of the book was boring. I have also discovered that the author likes to use big fancy vocabulary words usually within the same paragraph. It isn't necessary. Yeah, Mr. Quill is a polished journalist but no need to over snootify him in the books. This one is not a favorite of mine. "

" B; a short one to listen to, only 4 CDs. I had trouble getting into it, but it was okay. "
— Cathy, 1/27/2014 -
" As always the books are fun the mysteries are weak but I enjoy the characters so once a year end up picking up one while on holiday. Particularly light and non-nutritional reading. "
— Dana, 1/15/2014 -
" I like this author a lot but I haven't seen anything by her lately. Is she still writing? "
— Linda, 1/12/2014 -

" another great audio book "
— Shauna, 12/29/2013 -
" I still read these books to "see" all the characters in town. There is no mystery in this mystery series any more. This one, did not even have a a resolution at all, just a very rushed ending. I have one more to read and then I am done, even if more have been published. "
— Lorilee, 12/23/2013 -
" I love the "Cat Who" series, but this one was a little disjointed in the reading. I felt it kept jumping around. Despite this I still enjoyed it and wish I had a couple of Siamese cats myself. "
— Patricia, 11/5/2013 -
" Nice easy read for the beach or deck. "
— Larry, 10/25/2013 -
" I have read several of these. The characters are endearing. Unfortunately, I can't remember the titles of all the specific Cat Who books that I have read. "
— Karla, 5/29/2013 -
" in a word, lame. read a few of the cat who series. lightweight at best of times. this was dull & slow with no sense of resolution of mystery. probably only good reading for when you have the flu "
— Karen, 5/27/2013 -
" It was slow for the first 250 pages and then the plot was introduced and promptly resolved. "
— Jacky, 3/10/2013 -
" Funny and spirited, loved it. "
— Gillian, 1/10/2013 -
" Meh, this one could have been better. "
— Kristina, 2/14/2012 -
" very unsatisfying ending "
— Helen, 1/7/2012 -
" I just couldn't get into this book or the writing style. I put it down about 1/4 of the way through the book when there was no dead body yet. "
— Laura, 11/1/2011 -
" Well, I like this series because I like cats but I wouldn't call these mystery novels. Murders and mayhem, etc are mentioned but never resolved... "
— Lynne, 10/22/2011 -
" An audio book from the library, to stitch to. Glad I hadn't lashed out more than the library 50p on this, what a mess, but ok to stitch by. "
— Libbeth, 7/21/2011 -
" Treasure Chest Bookstore opens and actor in play dies in mysterious accident. "
— Kitty, 5/22/2011 -
" 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. "
— Caroline, 2/23/2011 -
" The Nancy Drew books for grownups. Flat, with what reads as stock phrases. If you're stuck in the waiting room it wouldn't be a bad choice, but it's instantly forgettable. "
— Margie, 9/16/2010 -
" Another mild mannered mystery featuring Qwilleran and his psychic cat. These are nice little stories that are undemanding but rather forgettable. <br/> <br/>No vulgarity or explicit language. some discussion of sexual abuse but no details. "
— Heather, 8/11/2010 -
" After reading several of these, they started blurring together and not fulfilling my reading drive. "
— Christine, 2/14/2010 -
" This one is one of the best in the series. It is rich with oblique insights into family and personal dysfunction, and fun reading at the same time! Koko is very rambunctious and funny in this tail :) "
— Dawnastebbins, 1/30/2010 -
" This was another easy listen in the car. The cast of characters wasa a little quirky in this installment, but I liked storyline, by and large. "
— Lesley, 10/16/2009 -
" Qwill,Koko,and yum-yum go to a cabin for the summer.people start dissapering and qwill is a suspect in murder! <br/> "

" Amusing enough with a typical Lilian Jackson Braun plot. "
— Lee, 4/28/2009 -
" Another good Lilian Braun. I enjoyed the story. ANother quick read. "
— Jan, 4/5/2009 -
" Same characters but interesting new setting and plot. I loved the continual problems with the cabin that brought all kinds of new characters into the picture. Creepy crawling under the house! "
— Natalie, 3/26/2009 -
" Better than some in this series. Easy to read, entertaining brain candy. "
