Cat Who series

I have read all of the books in the series. I'm now trying to get the audio CDs so I can move from room to room without missing a beat. Lillian Jackson Braun did a great job in these books.

Koko Has It All Figured Out

In this installment of, "The Cat Who.." series, Koko kept doing strange things. He wrapped the kitchen in paper towels. Then he stole some pennies from an antique bank that Qwill bought. What does it all mean? I liked this book. I love reading about Pickax. It is a great place to escape.

The cat who robbed a bank

I have just read The cat who robbed a bank and I thought that it is the best ever. For the simple reason that Qwill has finally found out some information about his parents. It seems as though he can finally accept what happened to his past and some what move on. He now knows why his life is like it is. And as for the mystery of who killed the jewerly man it was written better than ever. All of the other mysteries were excellent but this book has top them all. Not only does Qwill learn about his past he also learn about himself. He also remains cool about it and he still keeps himself humble with all the money he has. The cats are dynamite. Just knowing that Lillian can write books about a man who is rich and humble and still have enough time to solve a murder mystery with the help of his fiesty cats Koko and Yum Yum makes me more interested and impatient for the next book to come out!

Every "Cat Who...." is a pleasure!

I was so happy to see George Guidall return as the reader of Jackson's "Cat Who..." series. If you are an avid fan, try the un-abridged editions, they are wonderful and entertaining. Right now the only place I can find them (un-abridged)is the local library, and there is always a long waiting list, but worth the wait. Please continue with George Guidall, he IS Qwill.

Best of the Series

I have all of the "Cat Who" books and this was my favorite....especially liked the insights into Quilleran's family history. Braun knows how to keep her readers happy and looking forward to Koko and Yum Yum's next sleuthing adventure.

A very charming and delightful cozy

Moose County lies 400 miles form everywhere. The county seat is Pickax, a thriving town with a population of around 3000, including the wealthy Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, the mind reading Koko and the lovely Yum Yum.>Qwill, a reporter, has a genuine interest in crime and has even solved several cases. Pickax has a lot happening now such as the reopening of the hotel, the Scottish Festival, and an eccentric jeweler coming to town. Qwill is not thinking of felonies until someone kills the jeweler. As the townsfolk are outraged, Qwill vows to uncover the truth even though he and his two feline partners have some strange incidents get between him and his goal.<p><p>THE CAT WHO ROBBED A BANK is the twenty-third entry in this popular series, but the story line retains the freshness and charms that is a trademark of the novels. The plot is delightful when focusing on the antics of a clairvoyant cat and his preening companion. Qwill remains an engaging individual who more than just marches to a different drum. He is the drummer. The mystery is enjoyable, but as usual Lilian Jackson Braun's tale belongs to two cats and their pet human.<p><p>Harriet Klausner
