2 and a half

These Cat Who books are true true light fluff. Not really many clues to follow. In this on we don't even know if there has been a crime and no one seems to be investigating any of the odd occurrences and happenings that may be fishy, but then in the end it all comes out in detail. If it wasn't so enjoyably campy I would be bothered!

I probably should not have jumped from the 2nd book in the series to the 7th because a great deal had changed for Jim Qwilleran in the interval. However I was able to enjoy this mystery nonetheless. Sadly I also saw the ending coming- hence the 4 star rating- but I loved the characters and the cats were as delightful as ever!

Qwill and his Siamese cats are just as charming today as they were when I first read this series as a little girl.

These are quick reads. There's a little mystery, some g-rared love scenes, and good food. The killed is always determined and the K fund is available to repair any damage.

Wederom brengt Qwilleran hemzelf en zijn geliefden in gevaar als hij zaken niet wil laten rusten. Een auto ongeluk lijkt toch niet zo onschuldig te zijn. Gelukkig kan Koko gebeurtenissen aanvoelen om zo zichzelf en Yum Yum in veiligheid te brengen. Een brand zorgt voor meer duidelijkheid.

This is one of my favorites to date. I really enjoyed all the small town sidelines and the way characters were developed as Mr. Q investigated a murder and learned more about his community. I was particularly satisfied with the ending.
