Spring has come early to Moose County. The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing, but all is not well four hundred miles north of everywhere. On the surface, things appear tranquil - Jim Qwilleran, newspaper columnist and the county's richest resident, has moved back into the remodelled apple barn with his two remarkable felines, Koko and Yum Yum. And the newly built gazebo is providing an idyllic opportunity for all three to commune with nature.
But then an elderly woman dies in a suspicious fire, and the newly opened art centre falls victim to a mysterious break-in. Throw in a scandal involving an unscrupulous local politician and an anticomputer uprising at the town library and suddenly life in Pickax is anything but peaceful. In addition, a young artist disappears and Qwill, Koko, and Yum Yum have some serious sleuthing to do.
Lillian Jackson Braun began writing her Cat Who...detective series when one of her own Siamese cats mysteriously fell to its death from her apartment block. Since then twenty Cat Who...novels have been published , all featuring the very talented Koko and Yum, Yum, Siamese cats with a bent for detection. She lives with her husband and two cats in the mountains of North Carolina.

A serial killer may be right under Koko's nose, and now this ingenious Siamese must dig deeper to clear poor Qwilleran of suspicion - and dig up the buried motive for a catastrophic crime.
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!

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!

Jim Qwilleran, newspaper columnist and Moose County's richest resident, is intrigued to
hear about the mysterious disappearance of an unidentified backpacker somewhere in
Fishport, a village near the resort town of Mooseville, where he has a log cabin. With its
hundred miles of lake for a vista and its great dome of sky, Mooseville is just the place
to spend a short summer vacation.
Rest and relaxation, however, are out of the question, for Qwill straightaway finds
himself dragged into some highly innovative plans for this year's 4th July parade, a
dogcart race, and the recent knitting craze in Mooseville...
Above all, he is determined to dispel the rumours circulating that extraterrestrial beings
may be responsible for the missing backpacker. But when Koko, having spent hours on the
porch of the cabin, watching the sky for stars - or something else - leads Qwill to a dead
body in the sand, he begins some important sleuthing.
Qwilleran - a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime. Koko - a Siamese cat with
extraordinary talents and a hair for mystery. Yum Yum - a loveable Siamese adored by her
two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most delightful team in detective
fiction!

death from her apartment block. Since then twenty-one Cat Who... novels have been
