The Cat Who Played Brahms

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Is it just a cas of summertime blues or a full-blown career crisis? Newspaper reporter Jim Qwilleran isn't sure, but he's hoping a few days in the country will help him sort out his life.

With cats Koko and Yum Yum for company, Qwilleran heads for a cabin owned by a longtime family friend, "Aunt Fanny." But from the moment he arrives, things turn strange. Eerie footsteps cross the roof at midnight. Local townsfolk become oddly secretive. And then, while fishing, Qwilleran hooks on to a murder mystery. Soon Qwilleran enters into a game of cat and mouse with the killer, while Koko develops a sudden and uncanny fondness for classical music...

FROM THE CRITICS

AudioFile - Nann Blaine Hilyard

This installment in the popular series featuring journalist Jim Qwilleran and his perspicacious Siamese, Koko and Yum-Yum, takes the trio on vacation to Aunt Fanny￯﾿ᄑs lakeside cottage. Suspicious behavior among the townspeople, a jailbreak, and a neighborhood murder convince Quill that city life doesn￯﾿ᄑt have a patch on small towns for excitement. George Guidall￯﾿ᄑs versatile voice deftly adapts to the story￯﾿ᄑs pace, speeding up just enough to hook the listener with the rising excitement. Each character speaks distinctly, and even the Siamese cats￯﾿ᄑ yowls are convincing. Guidall has recorded five other Qwilleran novels; and veteran listeners will welcome the continuity while newcomers will become fans of these entertaining mysteries. N.B.H. ￯﾿ᄑAudioFile, Portland, Maine
