pickAs quaint a time as one can have while still reading a murder mystery. Braun manages the unlikely but charming pairing of newspaperman as inadvertent detective and cat as crime solver well. I especially appreciate that Koko is basically having mood swings and not allowing the routine of his prescience to get stale. There are still sentences that make me wince; chalk that up to the 1968 publication date.
A moustache you can trust. 〰️👍🏻
pickA solid 3 stars. This is a good, solid plot for a cozy mystery. Qwill is smart and funny. The antique/junk plot is interesting and the villain is not telegraph as much. The fauna of characters is fun and not paper thin. We meet Iris Cobbs for the first time. Love her. So yeah, 3 solid stars.
pickThis book went by very fast, I just had to know how Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum's next adventure would end!
pickI actually started reading this series at completely the wrong point, and I don't have all the titles, but I'm loving it so much at the end of a hard, tiring year! In this book, Qwill uncovers the secrets behind an antique trade neighbourhood, and all of it is delightful and interesting and well-written without being too convoluted.
Okay. I officially have no more room on my bookshelf. I've double stacked and triple stacked my way to glory. My bookshelf is a real life example of Tetris. Every shelf is sagging because I've crammed so many books in. It is stuffed. Jam packed. Totally full. So...now what? I feel like I should win a medal or something, but I'm also SOL because now I haven't got a place for my books anymore!!!!!! #totalcrisis #nowwhat #jesustakethewheel
