I found this book (as well as many of the others of the cat who... series) delightfully charming and it kept my attention throughout. I think the ways Quilleran's cats try to indicate their thoughts are unique and I like the rapport between the cats and their "eccentric" owner.

Qwilleran visits Breakfast Island for a couple weeks to research material for his article and investigate a series of accidents that are hurting business. This is not the strongest of the Cat Who series. The plot is very slow to develop and Qwilleran is unusually grouchy. The highlight of the novel

 is that the mystery is not quickly solved and leaves you guessing. It was that sole fact alone that helped me finish it.

 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.

Koko's version of playing Dominoes with Qwill and faithful Yum-Yum watching adds to the fun of this adventure particularly for readers who share their lives with cats.

I didn't like this one as much as the previous books. The setting of Breakfast Island and the lack of the Pickax characters failed to interest me.

Love these books. They are cozy and so safe to read - no real worrying stuff inside. Perfect just before bed books.
