‘This droll and engaging mystery… firmly grips the reader… a lively witty tale bolstered by sharply etched characters’ – Publishers Weekly
Jim Qwilleran is not exactly overwhelmed by his new assignment for the Daily Fluxion. Interior design has never been one of his specialities and now he’s supposed to turn out an entire magazine on the same subject. But the first issue of Gracious Abodes is barely off the presses when Qwilleran finds himself back on more familiar territory – the exclusive residence featured on the cover has been burglarised and the lady of the house found dead…
Now Qwilleran, with the help of Koko and Yum Yum, the brilliant Siamese cats, have their respective moustache and whiskers twitching, and when Koko starts pawing clues in the dictionary and sniffing designer furniture, Qwilleran finds himself doing a feature on a very clever murderer.

The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
Can best be compared to that cosiest of feelings - having a purring cat on your lap
A series which has more twists and turns than a tabby's tail. This whimsical offering will probably leave you wondering where your tom is tonight
Lilian Jackson Braun keeps both paws planted on the side of charming
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: This droll and engaging mystery... firmly grips the reader... a lively witty tale bolstered by sharply etched characters
Most detectives do their legwork on two legs. A few, however, do it on four...
Light-hearted originals... The mix of crime and cats [is] catnip to readers who like both
An engaging tongue-in-cheek yarn with a sting in the tail that won't just appeal to the cat-lover
It's a Wonderful Life meets The Aristocats in this daft but endearing whodunnit
