Publisher's Summary
Although the town of Pickax is in a tizzy over the recent events, Qwill has other, more puzzling worries on his mind. Who is the fellow still following Polly? Why is Koko licking Qwill's photographs of Scotland and tackling him on the apple barn stairs? Upon investigating the secret life of the deceased and the bizarre behavior of one of the tour's members, Qwill's sensitive moustache tells him one thing: more trouble is on the way.

"Good story"
This installment of 'The Cat Who' series is good.
I think the narrator does a fantastic job of capturing each character and mood... including the cats.
If you haven't read the other novels (in order) you might feel a little lost on the characters, but it is not hard to be captivated by the interesting people and personalities.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"A Tricky Mystery"
A most enjoyable listen. Truly, I was not annoyed by trafic delays because it gave me more time to listen and try to figure out the clues.

"Fantasy Land with Cats"
If you could sum up The Cat Who Wasn't There in three words, what would they be?Relaxing. Personalties. Puzzles.
What did you like best about this story?I've read and listened to this series for many years. What brings me back is the peaceful, yet interesting, location, and the quirky characters - including the cats.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?His voice is smooth and relaxing. He blends the character voices in seamlessly with the narrative.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes, even though I'd read it before.
Any additional comments?Imagine a small town with a low crime rate and no traffic problems. A citizen of this town has chosen to spend some of his inherited wealth to improve the town. This town becomes "fantasy land". It has a college, a theater, good restaurants, a weekly newspaper, a radio station, an airport and a collection of interesting characters, including two Siamese cats. As far as I know, no such place exists in real life. When I feel frazzled from living in a large metropolitan area, I look forward to a visit to "fantasy land" as depicted in the "Cat Who" books.

"Disappointing"
What disappointed you about The Cat Who Wasn't There?Even George Guidall couldn't save this one.
Would you ever listen to anything by Lilian Jackson Braun again?Yes -- usually enjoy her books.
What didn’t you like about George Guidall’s performance?George Guidall was excellent (as always) but this book is one of the weakest in the series. Lacks the usual Lillian Jackson Braun humor.

"Another great one in the series"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?If you know cats, as it appears that Lilian Braun does, then you must listen to one of the "Cat Who" series. Once started, you'll get to know all the townspeople of Pickax, their quirks and of course KoKo and YumYum and Qwill.Qwill goes on a trip to Scotland and as always KoKo helps in solving the mysteries that ensue.Another great listen, by the best narrator of this series George Guidall.
Who was your favorite character and why?Qwill and KoKo. Interesting main character that the main story always revolves around. KoKo, as voiced by narrator Guidal, is super intuitive and expressive.
