Resumen del Editor

The delightful New York Times best-selling mystery series continues with "another winner" (Austin American-Statesman)!

In this latest installment, prize-winning reporter Jim Qwilleran - along with his lovable Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum - solves a mystery that arises when a local banker dies under suspicious circumstances, leaving behind a flashy young widow, an unfinished house-restoration project, and a trail of clues as elusive as a cat burglar in the night....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fans of felines in general and Koko in particular will find this book, the 19th in the Qwilleran series, almost as irresistible as, well, catnip. Some would even say it's purr-fect." (Amazon.com)

"....an accomplished mystery that is as smooth as the season's first snowfall." ( Publishers Weekly)

Foolish Thief

Don't you wish it was as easy as the cat said it was so. Well it is relax, lay back and let the cats figure it out. Enjoy

The cat who tailed a thief

I love all of Braun's books! Love the cozy feeling they offer with quaint insights into villages and their citizens.
Keep writing!

good book

the lead character is slow in this book. it should have been figured out before the second murder, but no such luck. the narrator brought the characters to life. book is recommended for adults young and old.

always love to see how Coco will communicate

good story. George is my favorite reader of this series. also love the incite into cat behavior. and the cat naming research was great.

Cats, action and mystery all packed into one book

A great way to relax and think and enjoy at the same time a fantastic narrator, and of course a fantastic story

KoKo Still Reigns Supreme!

Where does The Cat Who Tailed a Thief rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is so lively and witty and keeps your interest just jumping up and down! I'm not sure if I can rate where this book ranks among all the audiobooks I've listened to so far, but it's a #1 brilliant story, in my opinion.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was again, lively, quirky and I know I had a smile on my face as I was going about my household chores! Even though this was fiction, if you ever lived in a small, rural town, you could probably find interesting "characters" something like the folks portrayed in this book.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

To me, George Guidall is the SUPREME MASTER of NARRATORS! Enough said...

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If my personal schedule would have allowed it, I could have listened to it in all one setting.

Any additional comments?

The joy of reading is something I can't do without in this world, and Audible allows me to ridiculously indulge in this guilty pleasure--thanks much, Audible!

Boyfriend loved this book

Listened to this book on a road trip. Gave it 5 stars b/c my boyfriend enjoyed it.

Entertaining Story

I'm a fan of "The Cat Who" series. I listen to these stories when I want to relax and escape from reality. There are recurring characters in this series who are slightly quirky, but mostly likable.

During this story, "Qwill" is collecting material for a book of historial stories about the fictional city of Pickaxe. Some of these stories are included in this book. While the stories are somewhat interesting, for me they just slowed the narrative of the main story. That is the reason my "overall" and "story" ratings were four stars rather than five.

George Guidall is excellent, as usual. I have listened to the audio version of these books over and over again. I feel certain I do this because his narration adds so much.

If you have enjoyed other "Cat Who" stories, I believe you will enjoy this one.

Muddied recording

As usual, the story is great!
But the recording needs to be cleaned up. At times, the voices are muffled and barely understandable.
