The Cat Who Knew a Cardinal

De: Lilian Jackson Braun

Narrado por: Theodore Bikel

Back in Pickax, Jim Qwilleran expects to resume a quiet life, but the people and animals of Pickax have other ideas. A noisy cardinal wakes him every morning, nosy neighbors drop by uninvited, and the Siamese cats—Koko and Yum Yum—misbehave, even sneezing on guests. As if they weren't bad enough, Qwill's long-time companion, Polly Duncan, acts as though she is in love—with another man.

Worst of all, Qwill finds a body in his apple orchard. When his friend, Dennis Hough, becomes the chief suspect, Qwill embarks on a crusade to clear Hough's name and win back Polly's heart. Even Koko sniffs out a few clues. But will their efforts be too little too late? Not even Koko knows for sure in the quirky, engaging romp that was a New York Times bestseller.

Love these books

I read these books ages ago and wanted to listen to one again. Totally charming.

Road trip

Good for long drive😁 would like to hear read by someone else, but would still recommend

Good story

Good story but not my favorite narrator.
Lillian Braun's regular narrator, George Guidall, is superb reading these books.

The Cat Who Knew a Cardinal

This author can put together a cute story so effortlessly! It is a wonderful story that leaves you feeling the same way a cup of hot cocoa and a campfire do!

Just okay listening

As all Lillian Braun's book, this is a fun story but lousy narrator; does not do her book justice.

abridged

I was not very careful before I bought this. Other listeners should take note that unlike other of Braun's audiobooks, this one is abridged and it is not read by George Guidall, although the reader was fine.

Narrator was not a good choice

Inconsistent narration-- doing one Scottish voice for the tailor Scotty but not one for Chief Brody. The narrator's accented voice was inappropriate for the story and very distracting. However his voice is beautiful to listen to in general and I will look up other books narrated by him. Great story by Lilian Jackson Braun of course!

ABRIDGED!! Great story ruined by Audible deceptio

I am outraged that Audible mixes in abridged and unabridged titles with no delineation between them and other than the time length provided NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER!!! If I wanted an abridged edition I WOULD HAVE SEARCHED FOR ONE. AbNow I am unable to get a refund on the two ABRIDGED books I bought with the expectation of getting the FULL version.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!

Overall good story

Liked description of different characters. I am not an expert on this type of detective story and sometimes found all of the activities of different characters confusing.

didn't like the narration

listening to this story by a narrator with a German accent was bizarre. How does a min character from Chicago that moves to Michigan end up with a story narrator reading with a German accent. Just didn't work. won't be listening to any more of these and I loved the books.
