Publisher's summary

Soon after banker Willard Carmichael and his young bride arrive in Pickax, a string of petty burglaries follow. Then Willard meets his demise—an apparent victim of a mugging—and the banker's home restoration project goes to the widow's cousin. Though the clues are as elusive as a cat burglar, the suspicious Qwill and his feline companions, Koko and Yum Yum, are determined to catch a thief—and a killer.

Delightful

Mason Adams does justice to this delightful tale. Lilian Jackson Braun used some great descriptive words making the mystery light and fun.

Bring back Mr. Guidall, please!

As I wrote in my other review, this is my favorite cozy mystery series. I am in the process of trying to obtain all of the books for my personal library, and I've been successful at my local library for the most part. However, they did not have this title, and when I saw that Audible had it, I bought it without noticing that George Guidall is NOT the narrator. My fault. I should have paid more attention. This narrator reads too fast, continuing over sections that should have a pause, IMO. He uses the same nasal voice for almost all of the characters - Polly sounds no different than Quill or Arch Riker. Very disappointing. Please, Audible, get the rest of the series with Mr. Guidall as narrator!!

tanny voice distracts

What did you like best about The Cat Who Tailed a Thief? What did you like least?

As always Braun's stories are captivating and entertaining.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cat Who Tailed a Thief?

The cat antics

How could the performance have been better?

The reader has a very abrasive,nasalized voice tone,. and too fast clipped delivery.Allow someone with a more subdued voice to do the delivery next time.

Do you think The Cat Who Tailed a Thief needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

That would be great with another reader.

Any additional comments?

The cat who series is very entertaining for me.
