Summary: This should be the very last "Cat Who" book written!
Comment: I feared that this series was in decline with Braun's last book; now I'm sure of it. If it's still categorized as a mystery, it shouldn't be. Whereas this series' early books revolved around a central crime or 2, this one's crime was given a few lines almost as an aside, and no attempts to solve it were made by the central characters. Speaking of characters, many of the well-known ones with whom Braun's fans are well acquainted make no appearance at all.
The ENTIRE "Great Storm of 1913" script was pure filler, and not particularly interesting nor dramatically written. Except for the town of Brrr's bicentennial, local events were given short shrift. How many times does a reader need a description of Qwill feeding his cats? Do we all have such short term memory loss that we need to be told repeatedly about the new bookstore's new marmalade mascot?
All in all, this was a quick, but VERY boring read and not worth anyone's time. My advice? Give it up, Ms. Braun. You had a good, long run. Now it's time to retire.

Summary: Not As Bad As All That.
Comment: I didn't find this book as bad as some of the previous reviewers did. I do admit that it probably isn't my favourite Qwill book, but it is still a charming tale anyway. In it we see Qwill and the indomitable KoKo trying to make sense out of two killings - one on Qwill's property by the lake and one in Milwaukee. To Qwill and his "smart cat" there is one thing that these two killings have in common, and the arrival of a woman to the town of Brr, seems to have some connection. She's someone who used to live there, but has been gone for a long time. Don't worry, it will all make sense in the end, and Qwill and KoKo manage to identify the person responsible for these strange goings on. Ms. Braun's books are still charming and wonderful - and great escapist reading.
