By: Lilian Jackson Braun

Narrated by: George Guidall

When a wealthy couple dies, Jim Qwilleran and his cats, Koko and Yum Yum, must follow the case to its explosive conclusion in this mystery in the best-selling Cat Who series.

The town of Pickax is buzzing with excitement: its residents are about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. But in the midst of all the preparations, Qwill has to take time out to entertain aspiring architect Harvey Ledfield - and deal with Koko’s strange new habit. Because the Siamese star has started dropping from balconies and landing in the oddest of places, including on Harvey’s head!

And now that Harvey’s aunt and uncle have mysteriously gone missing, Qwill better brush up on his paw language before Pickax is hit with a bombshell....

Critic reviews

"With its familiar characters, cozy plots, and happy endings, this series remains as comforting as a warm cat in your lap on a rainy day." (Booklist)

Always Wonderful!!!

I love these books so much, they are a joy to my heart. They never cease to put a smile on my face, or in my heart!

Cats who know they are people

Those humans such as ourselves know that we are well trained by our humans. That is why I love listening to the series about two wonderful cats who help to solve the mystery of the story. You just have to know that there seems to be more truth to what comes from the cat then what comes out of the human.

Wonderful

I am a fan of these books not just because the stories are well written and entertaining but because I have an ongoing love for George Guidall as the. Narrator. His voice takes me on the journeys of the story like I was actually there. Thank you for this gift of peaceful pleasure.

ehhh

you can tell she's getting near the end of her run. it's a good book but alas short and a lot of unanswered questions.

Another Day Another Cat-tuition

Sorry this one just seemed to be an after thought rather than a story. Not a favorite.

Typical Qwuill . love it

CoCo, YumYum and Qwuill. what else could it be? I never miss a read in the series.

Reader is excellent professional

Guidall (spelling) the voice artist makes the men, women and CATS speak as separate individuals with personalities.
This is not Braun’s strongest plot, but it gives a wistful glimpse into the future of this community. Read the book in the chronological order it was written, late in the series, and it will be more rewarding.

Love those cats!

If you love these books, you will love this audio version. Well read and a great story. I have read many of these books and I enjoyed hearing this one. Well Done!

Koko, Yum Yum, and Qwilleran Deliver

With the masterful narration by the very best in the world, George Guidall, these characters are pictured in our mind as easily as a lifelong friend would be. Always a pleasure to read about their adventures!

I miss the author of this fine book series

Lilian Jackson Braun was the winner of many writing awards due to great writing skill. smooth and very pleasant style was extremely easy to get whisked into the world she created and feel like you were in the character's shoes.
