Synopsis

Polly Duncan is off to Paris, temporarily leaving Jim Qwilleran without his lady companion. Good thing there's lots to keep Jim busy. Like a mysterious death from a bee sting that leaves everyone but Koko the Siamese in a state of confusion. If only the kitty with sixty whiskers would stop pussyfooting around and let Jim in on the deadly secret. 

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 Tosha on June 03, 2014

This is the worst Cat Who book and murder mystery that I have ever read. I usually enjoy the series as a light-fun-read, but this book definitely disappointed. Braun seemed more occupied with developing the town that she has created, than developing the murder mystery, its investigation, or even the......more

Goodreads review by C-shaw on August 30, 2009

I have read various "Cat Who" books over the years, but recently decided to read the entire series from start to finish. I shared them with two elderly ladies from my church and then passed them on to a 17-year-old young lady from church. We all love the series, which is sweet, light-weight, and app......more

Goodreads review by Jammin Jenny on March 13, 2019

I was disappointed in this installment in The Cat Who series. The initial books in the series were really good, but this one just kind of left me feeling kind of flat. (view spoiler)[Polly leaves Pickax for Paris and takes a 3 year job there, so Qwilleran's love if gone it seems. (hide spoiler)] I think this is the last book in t......more
