When Jim Qwilleran's friend Polly decides to spend two weeks on vacation with an old girlfriend in Oregon, he finds himself at a loose end—but not for long. A visit from Nick Bamba brings news of a hotbed of mystery.

Nick and his wife fear that their new venture, the Domino Inn, won't see out one summer season, let alone a lifetime. A series of fatal accidents on the recently developed Breakfast Island is beginning to deter further visitors, forcing Jim and his cats, Koko and Yum Yum, to scramble for clues.

it is amazing how many storms the lead character goes through, dark and stormy night. the plot was good, and the reader can keep up easily, but the best evidence is only available to the lead character. I much prefer other books of the author that have evidence everyone else over looks. narrator brought the characters to life, and the book is recommended to adults both young and old.

good book

This is one of the better Cat Who series. I always love the cats, and they are again irrepressible. The new characters are interesting, and the new setting described vividly. Good mystery, balanced with humor.
I can't wait for the next book!

What did you love best about The Cat Who Came to Breakfast?

I have read all the cat books and must say that the audio versions are even better than the books, especially with Guidall as the reader. Just makes me understand the characters better hearing his interpretation.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really, this is light reading, cute and fun

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

He nails the lead character and actually makes him much more likeable

WOW, George Guidall brings it all to life

I have never been able to get enough of these wonderful stories from 400 miles north of everywhere. George Guidall is easily my favorite narrator and is the perfect fit for the adventures of Mr. Q and his animal companions.

An excellent "Cat Who" story as always

This had been and will always be my favorite. Worth every penny. George Guidall delivers a fantastic narrative as usual. Audible really should complete the series.

Loved it of course. Love the author, love the reader, love the series. I would listen to War & Peace of if George Guidell read it.

Easy, mindless, enjoyable listening. Narrator’s voice and character voices are great, easy to listen to. His inflections are wonderful and brings the stories to life. Listening to the cat books in order. The series with this narrator are some of my favs!

I read The Cat Who books several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them. I thought I'd try the audio book version and am now hooked on them.

Very entertaining

I am in the process of obtaining ALL of the "Cat Who" series on audio. This task is a bit difficult because Audible does not have all of them, nor does my library. For anyone who is not aware of this series, I will say this: LJB began writing this series in 1966. The last book was written in 2007, I believe. To my knowledge, there are 31 books in the series, but don't quote me on that! It's very light reading/listening. One of those series where you get to "know" the characters and can't wait to get into the next book. LJB wrote with absolutely NO undesirable language, and when a murder occurs, there are no gory details. George Guidall IS James Qwilleran. (To me, anyway!) Even when I listen to him narrate another book, I associate him with J.Q.
It's fun to listen to the series in order, (the first book being "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards"), but it's not absolutely necessary.
This is not an exciting series - if you like your mysteries to have excitement and gore and obscenities, I would predict you would be bored with the "Cat Who" books.

MY FAVORITE "cozy mystery" series!!

My mother introduced me to Lilian Jackson Braun's delightful Cat Who series about 30 years ago, so I've gone from thinking of Qwill as being a charming "older" man back then, to now thinking of him as being about 15 years too young for me! LOL! The characters are loveable and memorable. Once you've become acquainted with them, you'll wish you could pick up the phone and call them just to see how they're doing. I like that Ms. Braun's writing is so mild and PG rated.
