The Cat Who Blew the Whistle

Rating:
Summary: It's a mystery with a twist.
Review: Being a cat lover and knowing how felines can be, I decided to read Ms. Brauns books. When I started they became clear that not only does Mr Q have a great pair of cats but he loves them very much. In all of the books I have read of this series so far, Ms. Braun hints at who the "bad guy" might be then she has Koko and Mr. Q work together to solve the mystery. It is fun, reading what Koko and Yum Yum are doing then seeing my own cats "talk" as they do in the books. Mr. Q, with all his billions, works for a living, cares for his friends and loves his cats. I have yet to see where he uses his money to look "better" than any other person in the book. Reading this and others of this series puts beautiful pictures in your mind of what Moose County may look like and how it would be to ive "400 miles north of everywhere".

Summary: One of the best books by LJB
Review: Even though this book is one of the longer ones, I found it to be a little stretched out. But there was a lot of really interesting events in this book. Even though I normally don't enjoy trains or books about trains, I loved this one.

Summary: The "Cat Who"... series strikes agaain!!
Review: I am an avid "Cat Who"... reader and I was really impressed with this story. The author has a way of tying things together while making it all seem as if this was the way it should have been to begin with. The attention payed to details as with the train, the interaction of Q,Koko and Yum Yum and the string of other characters make for an entertaining and fast paced book. One almost feels you are in the story with them as they are riding in the train. I highly recommend any of the books from the "Cat Who".. series. I can't wait for the next one to come out. It should prove to be a great read. Way to go Lilian Jackson Braun! Keep on writing!!

Summary: The Cat Who Blew the Whistle
Review: I am an avid reader of the mystery genre. Lilian Jackson Braun has a way of turning the mystery in her book into a fun, exciting sideline. As a cat lover, I instantly adored her style of putting the two Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, into the spotlight. Qwilleran, one of the main characters, is a wonderful guy (and owner of Koko and Yum Yum) with a great sense of humor. The hubbub in The Cat Who Blew the Whistle is hilarious, yet the mystery is a deadly revolving point. It keeps you on your toes as you find everything ties into each other. I relate well with Qwilleran- my cat is also intelligent, but it has an insatiable urge to chew on everything and anything in sight. The dialogue in this book is interesting-it is "train lingo." This is a complex mystery comedy that I suggest to cat-lovers, train-lovers, mystery-lovers, and comedy-lovers everywhere.

Review: I think it's awesome the way those two siamese help their owner solve mysteries. Without them, he wouldn't get anything solved. They always help in very interesting ways too, just sort of giving him hints when he needs them.

Summary: A Bargain Book Treasure!
Review: I'm so glad I picked up The Cat Who Blew the Whistle hardcover edition for one dollar from a book clearance shelf! It turned out to be an entertaining, challenging mystery that has left me wanting to read the rest of Lilian Braun's notable cat series! At first glance, I thought the story might be more simplistic than I like, but what a surprise! Plenty of thought-provoking suspense kept me reading! Lilian Braun has an almost whimsical writing style that yet offers excellent character/place development and just plain GREAT storytelling! Quilleran and his two Siamese cats are wonderful fun! I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms. Braun's cat books! I sincerely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries, cats and trains!
