THE CAT WHO KNEW SHAKESPEARE

In the small town of Pickax an accident has claimed the life of the local paper's eccentric publisher, but to Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret - but Koko's snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove catastrophic. Because somewhere in Pickax a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look. The stage is set for Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum and the second act of murder most meow...

THE CAT WHO PLAYED BRAHMS

Qwilleran, Koko and Yum-yum head north to Mooseville where an old family friend keeps a cottage on a lake. But Mooseville is not exactly the serene, sylvan setting Qwill had envisioned. When he samples a little of the local colour on a boat trip, his line snags on a very fishy corpse...

THE CAT WHO TALKED TO GHOSTS

Late one night, Jim Qwilleran is disturbed by the shrill ringing of the telephone. His landlady, Iris Cobb, now resident manager of the Goodwinter Farm Museum, is distraught. Qwill is concerned and becomes even more so when their connection is severed. Arriving at the museum he finds Iris slumped on the kitchen floor.

Once more the detective talents of Koko and Yum Yum, Qwill's sleuthing Siamese companions, are in demand in Pickax City.

When Qwilleran decides to do a feature story on Junktown, he gets more than he bargained for.

THE CAT WHO WENT UNDERGROUND

Jim Qwilleran packs up his old kit bag and his two Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, for a sun-and-fun summer at his log cabin in Moose County. Their vacation starts off ominously with the disappearance of a handyman hired to patch up Qwilleran's cabin. But the felines really start throwing catfits when they come across a dead body or two... A serial killer may be right under Koko's nose, and now this ingenious Siamese must dig deeper to clear poor Qwilleran of suspicion - and dig up the buried motive for a catastrophic crime.
