If you love cats and enjoy mystery Here are some books for you

The Cat Who
by

Lilian Jackson Braun

 

Lilian Braun's novels are of the more or less non-violent, puzzle-oriented genre often labeled 'cozies.' They make up for the lack of a tense, driving plot by emphasizing charming, irascible characters, and a somewhat tongue-in-cheek attitude. Braun is extremely successful at this. Sometimes the reader will feel that the murder is more of a subplot rather than the primary them of the novel
 

Jim Qwilleran, with his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, and their  life in the Moose County town of Pickax in rural Minnesota.

adult language



This is a great series! The animals talk to one another, and feel that they are superior to humans because we do not speak "cat" or "dog". For some readers, it does take a little bit of time to get used to the communication between the animals, but it is well worth it.
