The Cat Who Sniffed Glue

Rating:
Summary: Amusing Complexity
Review: "The Cat Who Sniffed Glue" follows in its typically serial vein with the usual fluffy fodder of feline fancies, but enhanced with a more sinister plot. While most assuredly not bordering on lurid, it is a welcome spin on the usual "Cat Who..." entertainments. Written as a play, it is piquantly refreshing due to familiar characters but change of setting, hosting the thrillingly suspenseful atmosphere of the theatre. "The Cat Who Sniffed Glue" rises above preceeding installments with Braun's usual wit and the perpetual fascination of whodunit. Delightfully cunning!

Summary: Home to Qwill
Review: After reading a complex volume or when in need of a little quiet therapy, I go to visit Qwill in Pickax. The Cat Who...books are all imaginative and funny, as well as clean and well-written. They are not earth shattering works, but more like a portal to a place that feels like home.

The cat who sniffed glue is no exception. I feel that this is one of the strongest books in the series, with an excellent and professional plot.

I do hope you'll get to know the characters in Moose County, and enjoy them as much as I do. None of the Cat Who books disappoint!

Summary: The Cat Who Sniffed Glue
Review: Another interesting mystery with Qwilleran, the middle-aged news writer turned millionaire and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum-Yum. I listen to this series on my way to work since they are so light and enjoyable.

Qwilleran's mansion in Pickax has a famous library filled with antique and rare books. This time Koko becomes fascinated with them because of the glue used on the binding. Koko becomes obsessed with the smell of glue of any kind. As usual Koko's behavior helps Qwilleran solve the mystery...

Summary: It was about a cat that liked adhesives, and glues
Review: I thought that this was one of the best books that I have ever read. I really like the series. I have only read a few but they are really good. The detective team consists of two cats and a Newspaper reporter. In this case The cats keep getting into trouble and Koko helps to solve the murder mystery by his attraction to glues.

Summary: for Moose County content and 4 for mystery
Review: This 8th volume of the popular Cat Who series focuses on the production of 'Arsenic and Old Lace' that is being staged by the Moose County Theater Club. The play is cancelled when one of the cast members and his wife are murdered. In typical small town fashion everyone else in the book are related to, had dated, gone to school with, taught, worked with or in someway were related to the couple. Qwill, the richest man in Moose County (which is located 400 miles north of everywhere) and his cats Koko and Yum Yum, are soon on the case. This sleuthing does not come without peril to the trio but in the end they of course solve the crime.

This is a bit more of a mystery than others of the series (at least I didn't figure it out early as I usually do in this series). There is also more violence involving Qwill and the cats than usual. In light of this I think that this would be a better choice for a non Moose County groupie.

For those of us who are fans of the series we get to visit with many of our old friends including Alacoque Wright who was featured in an earlier book. Qwill has also found himself with a surplus of lady friends, a situation that he does not find to his liking! The cats are very much involved in the action here, more directly than in some other books in this series.

The book is divided not into chapters but into acts and scenes like a play.

This is one of the best of the series, both for those who are already fans of the series and those who are not (yet).

Summary: FAMILY SECRETS
Review: Who is the star of this series, Qwill or Koko? I listened to the unabridged version of this book while driving from Colorado to Texas on Christmas Day; I can't think of a better gift than something from the pen of Lilian Braun.

This series is, well, comfortable. I feel as though I know the characters as well as some of my friends.

Ms. Braun's mastery of the genre peaks in this story of misdirection and intrigue. I couldn't change tapes quickly enough as I tried to put clues together that simply did not exist.

Who was responsible for all of the chaos in Pickax? Why the sudden outbreak of mischief, and why all of the blame being shifted towards a nearby town?

Ah, Lilian, you have once again masterfully mislead your loyal readers away from the obvious villian(s) and kept us glued to our seats.

This is a most entertaining and delightful book, one which I would recommend to anyone with a love of cats and mystery.
