Product Description

Product Description

The world of modern art is a mystery to many. But for Jim Qwilleran it turns into a mystery of another sort when his assignment to cover the art beat for the Daily Fluxion leads down the path to murder. A stabbing in an art gallery, vandalised paintings, a fatal fall from a scaffolding - this is not at all what Qwilleran expects when he turns his reporting talents to art. But now Qwilleran and his newly found partner, Koko the brilliant Siamese, are in their element - sniffing out clues and confounding criminals intent on mayhem and murder. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and loaded with genuine charm, 26 Oct 2001
This review is from: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards (Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit) (Paperback)
Introducing Jim Qwilleran a down on his luck crime reporter landed with the task of reporting on an art scene he knows little about. Working with the papers antagonistic resident art critic he walks in to a story he never imagined on his new beat, a brutal murder. Qwilleran finds help in the unlikely form of an aristocratic Siamese called Koko belonging to the papers art critic. L. J. Braun really excels at fleshing out believable human and feline characters in this unusual and very readable crime novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my type of mystery novel... , 13 Jun 2008
This review is from: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards (Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit) (Paperback)
When i first discovered the whole "cat mystery" genre, I became curious, so I decided to give this one a try, and listened to the audio version.

For a mystery novel, it's unusual in that the mystery doesn't start until about halfway into the book. The author first establishes the characters and we get to follow the main character, Jim Qwilleran as he starts working at his new job, making some new friends, etc. I suppose these parts were occasionally somewhat funny and the characters were interesting, but I would prefer to have the mystery start much earlier.

The writing was good but I personally didn't find the story very interesting, but I guess this isn't my type of mystery. It seems to be popular among readers of cozy mysteries, so I suppose I can recommended the book to those cozy mysteries fans who haven't already read it. Readers looking for suspense should look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, 12 July 2007
This review is from: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards (Audio Cassette)
This is the first time i had come across the 'The cat who..' stories but i must say i am well and truly hooked now!. The characters are very 'film noir' and are described very well by Braun. She has also got feline personalities down to a T and you can just picture them. Intially i thought the book was about talking cats so was a little confused when i started listening!. Although the cat(Koko) doesn't exactly speak in the story - he does communicate in his own way! This book is a good ole classic whodunit and i enjoyed every minute and no i didnt guess the end!. I am pleased to see there are so many more titles in the range and intend to work my way through them!.
