Summary: In Which Qwilleran, Koko, and Yum Yum. . .
Review: . . .move to "Junktown" in order to do a series of articles on the subject of antiques -- yet another topic on which Qwill knows nothing!

This book is especially nice in that it introduces us to Mrs. Cobb, a character who will make an appearance in several other books -- as will her famous cooking!

As this is a murder mystery, there is, of course, the obligatory murders -- but the plot is tightly written and the characters are interesting. In the end, of course, Qwill, Koko, and Yum Yum save the day -- and help Junktown to a new burst of popularity and prosperity.

Summary: 3rd in the cat who...series
Review: Another cute murder mystery with Qwilleran, the middle-aged news writer for the Daily Fluxion and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum-Yum. The setting takes place in Junktown, a decaying town known for its unusual junk (antique) shops and seedy living. Captivated by the unusual way-of-life, Qwilleran decides to move into town and starts writing stories for the Christmas feature. He becomes friendly with many of the shop-owners especially "the Dragon" and "the 3 Weird Sisters". He soon discovers that Andy's death was not accidental. With the help of his two mischievous cats, Qwilleran solves the mystery in Junktown.

Summary: Junkers beware!
Review: Qwill and his cats are in Junktown in this book. Another fast-paced Who-done-it full of suprises, some foreseen but many not. In this book Qwill had planned to write a story about the homeless and the drifters of Junktown, but instead is given the assignment of writing a story about the junk-sellers of Junktown. And as expected murder is found (and solved) by Qwill and Koko. If you liked the first two books in this series then you'll like this one.
