Synopsis

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?

About The Author

The history of Lilian Jackson Braun is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels. Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern, and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. In 1966, the New York Times labeled Braun, “the new detective of the year.” Then, for reasons unknown, the rising mystery author disappeared from the publishing scene. It wasn’t until 1986 that Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of an original paperback, The Cat Who Saw Red. Within two years, Berkley released four new novels in paperback and reprinted the three mysteries from the sixties. Since then, G.P. Putnam’s Sons has published seventeen additional novels in the Cat Who series. Braun passed away in 2011.George Guidall is one of the foremost narrators in the audiobook industry, having recorded more than 800 unabridged novels. His 40-year career includes leading roles on- and off-Broadway and numerous appearances in film and television. He has won an Obie Award for best performance.

Goodreads review by James on November 21, 2022

Book Review 2+ of 5 stars to The Cat Who Went Bananas, the 27th installment in the "Cat Who" cozy mystery series, written in 2004 by Lilian Jackson Braun.

Goodreads review by Lee on January 27, 2013

I don't read "The Cat Who..." books for mystery or thrills. I read them for their charm and warmth, to visit old friends again, to walk down the streets of Pickax and browse the shops, to admire Quill's reserved intelligence and thoughtfulness, and to play with Yum Yum and Koko as they race up and d......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on September 05, 2014

Oh dear… I’ll start by saying I have read all 26 previous novels in this series. The first three were solid mystery novels taking place in “the City” (probably Detroit or Chicago) with a crime reporter (Jim “Qwill” Qwilleran) acting as the sleuth. They were OK but not spectacular. Then 18 years passe......more

Goodreads review by Jammin Jenny on January 31, 2019

I enjoyed visiting again with Koko and Yum Yum, Jim Qwilleran's precocious Siamese cats. While this wasn't one of my favorite Cat Who books, I did enjoy Koko's antics during the storm. It reminded me of my new kitten racing across the tops of all the furniture in the living room.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on September 15, 2015

Let's be honest, I don't believe that many folks pick up this series for the 'mystery'. Many of the crimes take place "off camera" and the case is often solved with little assistance from James Qwilleran, and his feline companions. The real reason to read these books is to find out what is happening......more
