A good one. Lots of info on the people and town with a classic little murder (or two) to keep you wondering how it's all going to tie together. The title is misleading. While it ties in to the story.. it doesn't have a dang thing to do with the murders. Or am I mising something? Only in Moose

I picked this up from the library for some easy reading while waiting for doctor's appointments. Either this one was the worst of the series, or I'd forgotten how bad the other ones were. Never mind the simple plot -- I find that's a bonus when reading between appointments. What really bugged me

This was a shorter book/CD collection that most of "The Cat Who" series. I wish there had been more plot and character development.

whenever Qwill's Siamese cats, Koko and Yum-Yum, wanted him to come out from behind closed doors they staged a squabble so that he would come out and investigate. In this case, he opened the door and they tumbled into the studio and as quick as paws allowed they raced down the ramp. Thankfully, Qwill understood that the message was clear. Their patience had expired and on this beautiful June day it was time to enjoy their favorite activities in the gazebo. As any loving pet owner (or should I say caregiver in residence) will do, he fulfilled their wishes.

As always there is a mystery to solve but it really takes a backseat in this writing but is still a joy to read for all who love the series.
