Commentary Supposing Books The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Cat Who... #20)
Book Review3.5 rounded up to 4 stars for The Cat Who Sang for the Birds, the 20th book in the "Cat Who" cozy mystery series. Well kiddoes... only 3 books in this 30+ series for me to complete a book review on... I can't believe it's coming to an end. This was a really traditional cozy... reminds you of apple pie and a lovely spring day where everything's just shiny and pretty and calm. But those darn birds won't stop tweeting. Though I read this 10 years before I had my dog Ryder, I can imagine him trying to catch the birds and kill them -- just as Koko felt in this book. The town's all abuzz over some strange happenings, including weird and early weather. The mystery is light. The characters are fun. It's a good book in this series, but I understand there are a lot to keep up with. The murders make sense, that is, the reason for them and the root killer. But in the end, why would anyone ever stay in this town? Seriously, Qwill... you're a good guy and all, and I'll probably turn into you in about 30 years, but I don't want to die. Move. Now.

Birds, a spelling bee, art and murder reside in this episode of The Cat Who! Not only does the mystery keep you in suspense, the artistic measures and imaginative words keep you flipping the pages. Lillian Jackson Braun was truly a wonderful story teller and a gifted writer. She knocked it out of the park with this one!In Lilian Jackson Braun's 20th Cat Who book, The Cat Who Sang for the Birds, Jim Qwilleran "Qwill" befriends an elderly lady who lives on a plot of land near Moose County's new art center. Not long after meeting her, the elderly woman dies in a suspicious fire, and the the same day, there's a theft at the art center. Qwill and his psychic cat, Koko, (and of course, his second cat Yum Yum, who plays less of a sensational role) explore the case and bring peace back to Moose County.On the one hand,
.I like the main character in this series and his hometown characteristics. It's fun to tag along and experience his quirky lifestyle. I don't care for cats, but his don't demand too much attention.Happily reading along through these adventures.
Spring time and Qwill has had a screened-in gazebo built for Koko and Yum Yum to enjoy the wild life and the outdoors. It is also a great place to get some reading and writing done too. The birds are singing and so are the cats. May not be the best harmony but the cats don't care!When a neighbouring house is vandalized with spray paint and then later is torched, killing the 94 year old owner in the blaze, things become very suspicious. Along with this comes strange happenings at the new Art
Another great mystery solved with the help of a very smart cat. There were a lot of clues to help. I always enjoy the Cat Who mysteries.
This was another re-read. I haven't read it in a few years, so it was fun picking it up again. I think this is the last of the series written by Braun. I've just started re-reading The Cat Who Saw Stars and so far, it's not up to par with the previous books and the style isn't quite the same. This book is still as good as the others. I enjoyed trying to remember what happens and who the bad guys were
