Book Review: The Cat Who Turned On and Off

The team of Koko, the brilliant Siamese cat, and Qwilleran, the reporter with the perceptive moustache, is back in action - with an adorable female Siamese, Yum Yum, added to the household.

When Qwilleran decides to do a feature series on Junktown, he gets more than he bargained for. Not the dope den he anticipated, Junktown is a haven for antique dealers and collectors - as strange a lot as the crafty reporter has ever encountered. When a mysterious fall ends the career - and the life - of one of Junktown's leading citizens, Qwilleran is convinced it was no accident. But, as usual, it takes Koko to prove he's right.

Review: I have been reading this series for years and it was one of the set of books that my mom and I read at the same time. When one of us would finish a book then we would trade off and then discuss them. I love these books for light, fluffy reads.

This book in particular is the third in the Cat Who series. I loved going back to the beginning of the series and seeing Qwilleran, Koko and Yum Yum in their more humble origins. I also learned where Qwilleran met Mrs. Cobb who plays a large role later on in the series.

From a style stand point the fact that the book is well written allows it to stand on its own without the reader missing too many of the finer points of the story. Braun proves that she is a cat person by presenting the human characters as backdrops for the feline characters. Koko and Yum Yum are definately the main characters and the best parts of the series.

Plans: Probably going to add to a bookbox.
