Lilian Jackson Braun The Cat Who Tailed A Thief Pbk published June 2001 by Headline at £5.99 ISBN: 0747253919

See Review by Phyllis Davies

A spate of petty thefts threatens the holiday spirit in Pickax. First it's just a pair of sunglasses and gloves that disappear - but then the entire charity collection of the Indian Village Bridge Club is found missing...And unfortunately the worst is yet to come...
Ironically, the small items begin to disappear when banker Willard Carmichael moves to Pickax. Willard has come accompanied by his flashy young wife, Danielle, and plans to restore a few Victorian houses. But when he is found murdered in an apparent mugging, his wife’s cousin appears a bit too eager to pick up where Willard had to tragically leave off.
After a local resident is accused of stealing the bridge club money, Qwilleran has a moustache-twitching feeling that some surreptitious investigating is needed. Aided by Koko and Yum Yum's feline intuition, Qwill must bring the right people to justice before the small town of Pickax is destroyed by a Big-time crime wave.
Qwilleran - a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime. Koko - a Siamese cat with extraordinary talents and a flair for mystery. Yum Yum - a loveable Siamese adored by her two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most delightful team in detective fiction!
