Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Jackson's 10th entry in the series featuring middle-aged, curmudgeonly reporter Jim Qwilleran pits the independently wealthy citizen of the remote town of Pickax City against malevolent spirits, of either this world or another. Iris Cobb, the resident-curator of the local historical museum, tells Qwill she's hearing ghosts; after she dies of what the coroner says is a heart attack, Qwill and his Siamese cats, Yum Yum and the psychic zany Koko, move in to find out what could have scared her to death. Unearthing old and well-kept secrets in Moose County family histories, Qwill also investigates some newcomers to the area, notably the museum's neighbors down the road at Fugtree Farm, and the deceased's son whose inheritance is considerable. Fans of earlier The Cat Who . . . stories may welcome Qwill's return along with other Pickax regulars such as librarian Polly Duncan and Arch Riker, editor of the weekly Moose County Something , but as a mystery, this busy, superficial and weakly plotted tale is as unsubstantial as any ghost and much less haunting. Mystery Guild selection; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternate.

Ingram

Veteran reporter Jim Qwilleran tackles the supernatural in the latest entry in Lilian Jackson Braun's Edgar Award-nominated series. Are ghosts really haunting the Goodwinter farmhouse museum? Qwill doesn't think so--not until he finds Iris Cobb literally scared to death on the floor of the farmhouse. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books i've read, April 1 2004
By ike manitz (Kasson, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts (School & Library Binding)
Quill and his cats move into Ms. Cobbs house after they find out she dies. They move there to try to find out why she died. Tis book was written very well. I liked it because it was suspenseful at some points but in other times you knew exactly what was going on. I recommend this book to any older teenagers.

5.0 out of 5 stars for Moose County content - 4 for mystery, Jan 14 2004
By Jeanne Tassotto (Trapped in the Midwest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Cat Who Talked To Ghosts (Paperback)
As this 10th entry of the long running Cat Who series opens, Qwill is trying to listen to an opera recording. He is interupted by a phone call from Iris Cobb, a friend and curator of the local farmhouse museum. Qwill was Iris' tenant for a time when he worked Down Below as a reporter. After he inherited the vast Klingenschoen fortune and moved to Moose County he asked Iris to become his housekeeper/cook/antiques expert then recommended her for her present job. When this long time fried called and was so upset by the noises she heard in her lonely farmhouse Qwill rushed out to her aid. He was too late and found her dead from an apparent heart attack - or was the cause of death really so natural?

As always in this series the murder takes a secondary role to the characters and history of Moose County. Naturally Qwill and the cats resolve all and restore peace to Moose County. As the book closes a newcomer to Moose County gives Qwill a feeling of foreboding but he soon changes his focus to a call from the big city Down Below that he used to call home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and entertaining Cat book., May 27 2001
By "c11935" (Lowell, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat Who Talked To Ghosts (Paperback)
Just discovered this author with this book. Held my attention, provided humor, suspense and entertainment. The author's story is imaginative and the story line is just complicated enough to hold the reader's attention while not befuddling him. I look forward to reading another in the series.
