Purrfectly delightful for cat lovers and mystery buffs alike, each of Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who... mysteries have perched atop the New York Times best-seller list. In this, the 20th book of one of the most popular series of all time, spring has come early, the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing, but all is not well "four hundred miles north of everywhere".
When the newly opened art center is broken into, and an elderly woman dies in a suspicious fire, the town of Pickax is suddenly anything but peaceful. And now Jim Qwilleran, Koko, and Yum Yum have some serious sleuthing to do. Once again it's up to Moose County's philanthropic master sleuth and his clue-finding Siamese cats to unravel the mysteries in this enjoyable tale for the whole family.
