New York Times best-selling author Lilian Jackson Braun has won a dedicated following over the years with her endearing Cat Who... mysteries. Set "400 miles north of everywhere" in the fictional Moose County town of Pickax, the books feature mild-mannered journalist Jim Qwilleran and his super-sleuthing cats, Koko and Yum Yum. With his companion Polly in Paris, Qwill keeps himself occupied by writing an absurdist play called The Cat Who Got Elected Dog Catcher. Meanwhile, things are spicing up in Pickax. Huge inheritances from old families are suddenly and mysteriously pouring in to town, but nobody is quite sure why. Except Koko, that is—and he's not telling. Then things get really interesting when one resident drops dead from an apparent bee sting. Can Qwill and his cats get to the bottom of things? AudioFile Golden Voice George Guidall provides a riveting narration for this cozy. Guidall has narrated the entire series for Recorded Books, from The Cat Who Could Read Backwards to The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell.

      Diehard fans will best appreciate Braun's meandering 29th "Cat Who..." mystery (after 2006's The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell). Series hero Jim "Qwill" Qwilleran, columnist for the Moose County Something in remote Pickax City, Mich., gets involved in the local literary club, a new senior center and an absurdist play called The Cat Who Was Elected Dogcatcher. When Polly Duncan, "the chief woman in his life," goes off to Paris, Qwill is left without a companion for his various social outings. Incidental criminal activities include arson, missing funds and death by bee sting. Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum add the usual feline fun.

      George Guidall assumes the character of news columnist Jim "Quill" Qwilleran with an authentic small-town flavor. In this episode of Braun's series, Quill plans to write an absurdist play titled "The Cat Who Was Elected Dogcatcher" for the literary club. As usual, Quill's Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, join the plot. This time Koko is suspected of being a "psychic" kitty because prior to violent death, Koko announces the event with bloodcurdling yowls. Sadly, additional criminal activities--arson at the new senior center and death by bee sting--cause the plot to become confusing. Guidall's vocal antics and cat characterizations are the best part of this audiobook, which only die-hard "Cat Who..." listeners will appreciate. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
