The Cat Who Brought Down The House by Lilian Jackson Braun

The Cat Who Brought Down The House #25 by Lilian Jackson Braun


It had been a few years since reading a Cat Who mystery and it felt like I'd never left Moose County, 400 miles from everywhere. James Mackontosh Qwilleran, a former crime reporter from Down Below, with his huge mustache, now does the weekly Qwill Pen column for the Moose County newspaper. Qwill and Koko, his very intelligent Siamese cat, solve the mystery surrounding Thelma Thackerey's brothers untimely death. Does the Kit Kat Revue in the newly remodeled Pickax Opera House, which has been turned into a new Film Club, cause a problem for Koko and Yum Yum or is Qwill got the case solved? With the Pickax regulars going from eachof the restaurants in town, we get a wide erray of unique cuisine to whet our appetites, esp with the re-opening of The Grist Mill with Qwill's ever-popular Qwill Cocktail. To find out more about this fun and quirky series, just walk or run to your nearest library and read them. But, do me a favor and start with #1!!!!!

The Great and Terrible Vol. 6: Clear As The Moon by Chris Stewart

The Great and Terrible Vol. 6: Clear As The Moon by Chris Stewart

This last installment was just as mesmerizing as the prior two books in the series, but did feel this one was rushed just a tad bit. I could figure out who "the old man" was, even with it being disappointing, but that happens sometimes. I really liked how the Special Op Team lead by Sam and Bono really had a masterful, ingenious plan for getting King Abdullah out without killing him. These books really give us a shake-up in being prepared for the Last Days. We need to be strong, faithful and endure to the end, as our Constitution is hanging by a thread and our Country is the only Country that can save the World. With Sam, Bono, Sara, Ammon, Luke, Azadeh, Caelyn and Ellie working to uphold our freedoms and Our Constitution, America can be strong. This is the best Last Days series I've ever read!!!
