Murder and arson call Koko’s sleuthing skills into action…
James Qwilleran and his clue-sensitive cats return with crime-solving talents intact in Lilian Jackson Braun’s cosy whodunit The Cat Who Smelled a Rat. Perfect for fans of Simon Brett and Sofie Kelly.
‘Another from the series that delights so many’ – Gwendoline Butler, Crime Time
October arrives in Moose County on the heels of a long drought, and the citizens of Pickax worry about wildfires. Their fears are realised in an unexpected manner, with a case of arson – and the shooting of a volunteer fire-watcher as he is reporting the blaze. The crime wave continues as the president of the curling club is pushed to his death down a flight of stairs, and it’s up to Qwilleran and Co. to sniff out the rat who is responsible for it all.

‘Amusing, clever and well thought out. A pleasant way to pass time’

Reviews
This droll and engaging mystery... firmly grips the reader... a lively witty tale bolstered by sharply etched characters
Entertaining and absorbing mysteries which, in the tradition of all good whodunnits, keep you guessing right to the end
Most detectives do their legwork on two legs. A few, however, do it on four...
Irresistible
The entanglement is better than a Christie and the cat descriptions are terrific
Light-hearted originals... The mix of crime and cats [is] catnip to readers who like both
Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Another from the series that delights so many
Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
An offbeat series with a good deal of charm
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
