Book Review: The Cat Who...


I finished the Cat Who Could Turn On and Off. It was the third book written by Lilian Jackson Braun. Her early books are fantastic. They were written in the mid-sixties and have a real intelligence behind them. Her main character, Jim Qwilleran, is a crime reporter that has been demoted to the home interior beat of a local newspaper. He has two adopted cats Koko and Yum Yum.

In the last book, Qwilleran moves into a dilapidated neighborhood known as Junktown. He takes a second story apartment over an antique store. When the proprietor meets an unusual death, he begins to suspect murder.

It is one of her best novels. I give it five out of five fluffy stars.

*Keep ion mind that this series is a teacup novel. A fluff mystery.

Oh, well. I guess the old saying is true, "You can't teach and old dog new tricks."

Not that you are old...or a dog...uh...never mind!
