About this audiobook
Soon after banker Willard Carmichael and his young bride arrive in Pickax, a string of petty burglaries follow. Then Willard meets his demise—an apparent victim of a mugging—and the banker's home restoration project goes to the widow's cousin. Though the clues are as elusive as a cat burglar, the suspicious Qwill and his feline companions, Koko and Yum Yum, are determined to catch a thief—and a killer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As I’ve shared in numerous reviews I love this series! This book in particular was a treat for me to read for multiple reasons. First was my delight with the cover. Although I don't select books by cover art I couldn't help but notice a different "look" but was too eager to begin reading the story to pursue it. Then I noticed that the running heads of each chapter were of slightly different design than I usually viewed in this series. As I opened the book one night and the cover again captured my attention I decided to check the copyright page for the publisher and realized the difference. The majority of the editions I've read in this series have been published by Jove Books. Jove Books are published by The Berkley Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Putnam, Inc. (New York, New York). The edition I purchased for this title is printed by Headline Book Publishing (London, UK). Cover art delights include the calligraphy type font identifying "A Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit" and in the midst of black shoe prints font that announces "The captivating series featuring the most extraordinary detective team" and no one can argue with that assessment.As I mentioned in my review of "The Cat Who Knew a Cardinal" (#12 in the series)... One of the delights of this series is that one never knows where Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum-Yum will be residing as the setting for their residence changes throughout the series and they always add an interesting twist to the mystery of murder and mayhem and a fascinating new cast of characters for their interactions.Qwill’s friend, Polly Duncan (librarian at the local public library) has also changed residences a few times as well. During the winter months and for this adventure in the series Qwill and Polly are living in apartments in Indian Village.Additional delights of this adventure:• As usual, Koko is doing his very best to communicate to Qwill to assist in the latest murder investigation and also as usual, Qwill is missing the important clues.• “Chief” (Qwill) has given Celia Robinson another assignment for investigation and their ways of communication add to readers' smiles since there are privacy issues due to Qwill’s temporary location change of residence.• Readers learn whether Qwill actually wears the kilt in public that he had made in Macintosh tartan as a tribute to his Mother, Anne Macintosh Qwilleran, who raised her son as a single parent.• Qwill often talks about writing a book but in this adventure he’s actually visiting several individuals to begin interviews and transcribing them for a "collection of stories and legends about the early days of Moose County, to be published by the K Fund and sold in gift shops. Proceeds will go ti the historical museum." The stories are unique and are not to be missed!• Writer of a twice-weekly column titled "Straight from the Qwill Pen” for the Moose County Something and one of the latest offerings is the specialized art of naming cats. I won’t spoil the surprise on how this subject came to Qwill’s reflection. The column does include a “Cat Poll” for the newspaper's readers and you won’t want to miss reading all the postcard submissions and answers given verbally to Qwill while he’s out and about.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've read one other book in this series, but it was a while ago and I can't remember which one it was. At first, I thought I was not going to like this book, but Qwill, Koko, and Yum Yum grew on me. It took me a while to figure out that the series is set in Michigan. At first, I wondered if it was England, but after a while all the up and down references reminded me of Michigan, which was later confirmed in the story. Other than the cold, Pickax sounds like a nice town--sadly, prime pickings for scams. Actually, Koko is more the crime solver of the two cats. Though I think Yum Yum did get in on directing Qwill to one of the drawers. I know Koko was trying to tell Qwill something by bopping Yum Yum on the head--I'm not quite sure I understood what it was. I did guess that there was a con going on but I didn't guess the the involvement of some of the characters. I'll count that as a half win.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not my most favorite of the kitty books. It was very dialogue-heavy, plot-light. I like listening to Qwill talk to people and socialize, but I would have preferred more buildup to the actual crime, more mystery, more intrigue. *spoiler*Qwill had everything solved within a day of the *real* crime happening. It just happened to conveniently explain some paltry kleptomania near the beginning of the book that wasn't interesting while it was happening, much less a whole novel later.
