Publisher's summary

The development of a major resort complex at the southern end of Pear Island, affectionately known as Breakfast Island, is turning the town upside down. Local residents, summer people, and mainland fishermen are all hopping mad that the peace of their retreat is being shattered. But who is angry enough to murder?

When a cabin cruiser explosion in the marina sets off a series of "accidents", Qwilleran begins to wonder if sabotage is involved. But he has his work cut out for him. There are plenty of suspects, plenty of motives, and plenty more "accidents" occurring. Can Qwill and the cats uncover the murderer's identity before they become the victims of one of the many mishaps plaguing Breakfast Island?

With Koko and Yum Yum on the scene, you can bet that the mysterious events on Breakfast Island will be exposed. But will it happen before someone else is killed?

An excellent "Cat Who" story as always

I have never been able to get enough of these wonderful stories from 400 miles north of everywhere. George Guidall is easily my favorite narrator and is the perfect fit for the adventures of Mr. Q and his animal companions.

Very entertaining

I read The Cat Who books several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them. I thought I'd try the audio book version and am now hooked on them.

A wonderful series

When I was younger, I fell in love with the antics of Koko, Yumyum and their human companion Qwill. Now that I’m older, there is a whole new level of enjoyment in the relationship of Qwill and
Polly. A smartly written series of mystery and charm!

The cat who came to breakfast.

Loved it of course. Love the author, love the reader, love the series. I would listen to War & Peace of if George Guidell read it.

Series gets better and better

The characters in this series develop more and more as the reader gets to know them. The mystery is secondary to the wonderfully described life of the town and the characters feel like old friends

The Cat Who Left A Review...

This had been and will always be my favorite. Worth every penny. George Guidall delivers a fantastic narrative as usual. Audible really should complete the series.

The Cat Who … Came to Breakfast

As always beautifully acted, great stories. Love the series (30 books). I thoroughly enjoy every book that I’ve read so far.

Totally missed the solution! But the cat knew!

I am continually amazed at Braun's twists and turns. Humor and intrigue mixed together.
I love all these books, but this one was, by far, the most intricate and captivating!
