If this post ends up sounding wierd, it's due to the fact that I'm rather wound up, in a screwy mood, and unable to concentrate for very long.
Summary: Qwill goes about his business in a small town with a rich cultural heritage. Strange things happen, and Qwill finds out the details of any wrongdoings thru talking to the right people. His cat shows an affinity for some random book that predicts (Nostradaumus style) certain plot events. Oh look, I could've been describing any book in the series!
Summary on the back of the book [plus ranting from me]: There's something rotton in the small town of Pickax--at least to the sensitive noses of newspaperman Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. An accident has claimed the life of the local paper's eccentric publisher, but to Qwilleran and his feline friends it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret [if by "sniff out" you mean talk to random people that they probably would've talked to anyway, peolple who happened to have heard something from sombody], but Koko's snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove CATastrophic [um, what? The cat's actions accomplish nothing except making him seem smart in a Nostradaumus sort of way.]...because somewhere in Pickax a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look. The stage is set for Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum, and the second act of murder most meow [um, that line makes no sense]...
Reaction: Well at least this one had some plot to it. It wasn't too hard to predict who the murderer was. This book was an improvement over the other Cat Who book I read, but only enough to make me wonder if maybe they're not so bad after all, and to predict that that's unlikely to be the case...
