4.0 out of 5 stars The best cat detective team ever !, April 30 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cat Who Played Brahms (Paperback)

In "The Cat Who Played Brahms" Qwilleran takes a vacation from the big city and the press. He borrows a cabin from his Aunt Fanny, who is either hard of hearing or just doesn't listen. She lives in a town called Mooseville. Qwilleran buys a car and he and his two cats drive up to the cabin. Things get eerie when he finds something in the local cemetery. Someone did not want him to go to the cemetery even though it is advised in a tourist brochure. When while fishing on a strange boat he catches something unbelievable. Koko finds a secret tape stashed in the cabin and the vacation turns into another wonderful mystery.

I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to all mystery lovers. It kept my interest and I loved the cats. They bring a new meaning to mystery solving. This is the first book in the series that I have read and it will not be the last.

4.0 out of 5 stars In which Qwilleran, Koko, and Yum Yum. . ., Feb 16 2004

By	David Zampino "21st Century Hobbit" (Delavan, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cat Who Played Brahms (Paperback)

. . .disgusted by city life, decide to take a leave of absence/vacation from the Daily Fluxion in order to spend some quiet time in the country at the invitation of "Aunt Fanny", an octogenarian friend of Qwill's late mother.

As can be imagined by any reader of the previous stories, things do not go as planned! Qwill must (quickly) learn that "Moose County" (400 miles north of everywhere) is quite different from anything he had previously been used to in the city.

This is the first "Moose County" Lilian Jackson Braun book, and the first title after an 18 year hiatus. While quite a few characters from previous books appear, it is evident that the focus of most of the following books will be in the far north -- and not the big city.

By the end of the book, several murders have been committed, the criminals caught (with, of course, the help of Koko) -- and Qwill's life changes in a very dramatic way.

Recommended.
