    About this audiobook

    The merry atmosphere in Pickax is dampened by the death of an out-of-town actor and the theft of a rare book. Qwill finds himself distracted from the events by his finicky pal Koko, who's been acting more fishy than feline. Has Koko gone bananas, or is he trying to let the cat out of the bag to solve the dual mysteries?

    • 4/5
      Another enjoyable mystery. Qwill was a bit of a curmudgeon with kids.
    • 5/5
      A charming read - where the cats win? You betcha!
    • 4/5
      I listen to these on audio. George Guidall is one of my very favorite all time readers. I listened to these many years ago back on CD and am having fun revisiting them. It's crazy though that Audible doesn't have the entire collection. This is top tier late night falling asleep material.
    • 4/5
      Qwill has moved into the Gage mansion in Pickax for the winter. The owner has gone to Florida to live in a retirement community. When she dies from suicide, things don't seem quite right, and Koko helps prove they aren't!
    • 4/5
      I love this series but this is one that stands out as one of my top favorites.

      For those that are reading the series in order and have followed one of the relationships it's a special delight to "attend" Qwill's friend Arch and Mildred's wedding on Christmas Eve. The storyline itself actually begins prior to Halloween and continues through Christmas. Everyone knows how much Qwill enjoys his food so his descriptions of holiday dinners and treats bring joyous smiles. Not to be missed is Qwill's special part of the Pickax Christmas celebrations. There's also Qwill's new writing provision and acting in a one-man play highlighting the Great Fire of 1869 in Pickax. Qwill's performances are enjoyed by all ages in various community settings. In addition to holiday festivities there's a mystery to solve from afar. Genealogy of the family of Junior Goodwinter (Managing Editor of the Moose County Something newspaper) lends to solving what was first thought to be a suicide by everyone by Qwill. The apparent suicide took place in Florida but Qwill is still keen to use his investigative skills from afar and local clues in Pickax are being provided by Koko who is feverishly searching various closets in the old Gage mansion (Qwill's current home for the winter) to provide his vital assistance. There is also a wonderful addition of the use of a dog sled that becomes a highlight for helping Qwill on Christmas Eve in the midst of a ferocious snowstorm.
    • 2/5
      Story started like a normal mystery in pickaxe, gave you a few juicy bites, then had it all end and left you with a vague suspicion on all of the mysterious happenings. Not my favorite book on the series.
    • 4/5
      A suicide, a murder, a funeral, and a wedding - and a stage production, a snowstorm, a dogsled team, and a Christmas parade.This is a typical Cat Who book, with lots of everyday things happening while Qwill (and Koko) investigate something that just doesn't seem right. Fun story, fun characters, overall a quick, enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      Another page-turner with Jim Qwilleran and his mystery solving cat - Koko. It's a good one.
    • 4/5
      Audio CDs from Library. Another delightful story about Koko and Yum Yum, Qwilleran's two siamese cats and life in a town, 400 miles from anywhere, beautifully read by George Guidall.
    • 5/5
      First "Cat Who" book I ever read. Loved it. Qwill is wintering in the old Goodwinter mansion, when the owner, a spritely old lady given to interpretive dance and the color purple, dies under mysterious circumstances. Koko keeps finding oddments in the various mansion closets that lead - naturally - to the murderer. As a side story, Koko also finds information about a horrible fire that nearly wiped out the town in the 1880's. Qwill uses this info to write a fascinating radio-play about the event. (We are asked to pretend that radio had been invented back then!)
