When I first read this mystery, it was the second of a 3-volume series, the last of which had appeared in 1968. Only with the 4th book, THE CAT WHO SAW RED (1986), did the series take off into its at-least-1-book-a-year mode, and only with the 5th, THE CAT WHO PLAYED BRAHMS, did Braun introduce Qwill to Moose County.
THE CAT WHO ATE DANISH MODERN was the first Qwilleran book I ever read, and although it's best to begin with book 1, THE CAT WHO COULD READ BACKWARDS, I can testify that you won't be lost if you pick this up first instead, nor will you spoil the solution of the previous book. Qwill is the type who'd probably think of himself as a dog person if he weren't a city dweller, but after the death of his landlord, ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Cat Who Went Up the Creekby: Lilian Jackson Braun January 31, 2003 |
||
|
With its unpreposessing cover and rather long title, this isn't a book I would have been immediately drawn to. However, a friend had recommended the series, and this, the latest in paperback, was the first one I came across. Immediately, I was hooked! To call this a "gentle" whodunnit would be too patronising - just because the setting is backwoods America doesn't meen that the tale, characters and writing are simple-minded! There's a complex plot with plenty of clues, and the characters are well-drawn and involving. Even if you've not read the earlier books, you can soon get involved in Quilleran's world. I've started reading the earlier books too - and can't wait for the next installment.

The Cat Who Could Read Backwards (Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit)by: Lilian Jackson Braun January 05, 1995 |
||
|
When i first discovered the whole "cat mystery" genre, I became curious, so I decided to give this one a try, and listened to the audio version.
For a mystery novel, it's unusual in that the mystery doesn't start until about halfway into the book. The author first establishes the characters and we get to follow the main character, Jim Qwilleran as he starts working at his new job, making some new friends, etc. I suppose these parts were occasionally somewhat funny and the characters were interesting, but I would prefer to have the mystery start much earlier. The writing was good but I personally didn't find the story very interesting, but I guess this isn't my type of mystery. It seems to be popular among readers of cozy mysteries, so ...

Christmas in Junktown. When the idea hits reporter Jim Qwilleran, he thinks he's come up with the perfect way to win the Daily Fluxion's annual contest and some much needed money to get an apartment of his own. But when he gives the idea to his editor, he finds out that Junktown isn't a place for drug addicts but an area with a bunch of antique dealers. Qwill isn't excited about this any more, but his editor loves it and gives him the assignment. Qwill's first day on the new beat is the day of an auction to sell off the merchandise of a dealer who recently died in an accident. Something about the accident makes Qwill's mustache tingle, however, and he begins to poke around. Soon, he's convinced that the man was really murdered. Unfortunately, Koko ...

I've read a lot of this series, and think that this one is the least satisfactory that I've read. The plot never really got up any pace and its all becoming rather predictable.

I was given this book and never thought I would read such a crime/mystery book. Its a good read I was pleasntly surprised as I like sci-fi more.
Its the cats who solve the crime more than the humans do! >>More Details |

The Cat Who Sniffed Glue (Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit)by: Lilian Jackson Braun December 06, 1990 |

I found this particular one to be funny and whimsical as the cat detective duo once again comes thru. KoKo seems to have no bounds and an uncanny sense of taste for the glue. He once again foils the crime but this time with 'glue'. Qwill should learn by now that the kittys are never wrong. I highly recommend this book to those who are a 'Cat Who Dun It' fan. I am currently reading the entire series and am finding from book to book how they all came to be. Totally worth the read and all that are before it in the series.
