Average Rating: Rating: - Latest in the series a quick and good read. The Cat Who Brought Down the House is the 25th in the series of "detective" novels written by Lilian Jackson Braun that feature James Qwilleran and his two Siamese Cats, Koko the male feline who aids Qwill in solving the cases and Yum Yum, the female cat. The action takes place in Moose County, 400 mile of everywhere. This time Thelma Thackeray returns after nearly a six decade long career in Hollywood. The octogenarian does not plan on sitting still as she acquires the old opera house and proceeds in opening a film club to screen old movies. The circumstances are marred by the kidnapping of her Amazon parrots and the suspicious death of her twin brother. As with the previous Cat Who books all this gets Qwill thinking and Koko doing his "thing" that gets the case solved. This latest entry is a quick read. Braun also re-tells two stories from her latest (2001) short story collection, Short and Tall Tales. If you are a Lilian Jackson Braun fan this book [is]recommended. Rating: - Outlived 9 Lives This latest book in "The Cat Who . . ." series is another disappointment. While I found it more interesting than the previous novel, I wish that Braun would write as she once did. Koko and Yumyum used to play important roles. Now, it just seems like they're mentioned incidentally. This is the last book in the series I plan to read. Sorry, Koko; you're nine lives are up for this reader! Rating: - not one her best books. was a little diapponted in this book. it reminded me of so much of her others. its a nice light book but it didn't take long to read.
