“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 the art beat for The Daily Fluxion leads down the path to murder. A stabbing in an art gallery, vandalized paintings, a fatal fall from a scaffolding--this is not at all what Qwilleran expects when he turns his reportorial talents to art. But Qwilleran and his newly found partner, Koko the brilliant Siamese, are back in their element--sniffing out clues and confounding criminals intent on mayhem and murder.”
Synopsis from Amazon
I’ve been a fan of Lilian Jackson Braun since my friend Kris introduced her to me many years ago. I had seen her books around for years but to be honest I thought they sounded “silly.” Then Kris recommended them so I tried one and was hooked.
I’ve done another review on Lillian Jackson Braun H.E.R.E.
If the first three seem v.e.r.y. different from the rest the reason is because Braun wrote the first three books between 1966 and 1968 then she disappeared from the publishing scene for 18 years. In 1986 a publisher reintroduced her books to a new generation of readers and within the next two years she wrote four more books. Her 29th book was published in 2007. She died at age 97 in 2011.
If you like cozies this is a great series. I’ve read them several times and will probably read them several more. – but I’m a rereader! – and I like cats! Especially the ones in Braun’s series.
