4.0 out of 5 stars The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare, July 3, 2004

This review is from: The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare (Audio Cassette)

I enjoy listening to the Cat Who...series on my way to work by audio. I recommend them because they very light and enjoyable. Koko and Yum-Yum have typical cat personalities and are very whimsical. The end always has a neat twist, although many story-lines in this series are very much alike...

In this episode, Koko becomes fascinated with Qwilleran's antique and rare books, especially the Shakespeare plays. He regularly throws them on the floor of the library. Qwilleran soon realizes that Koko's antics will help him solve a mystery...

This review is from: The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare (Mass Market Paperback)

. . .investigate the death (was it murder?) of the local newspaper publisher.

Alas, Qwill's doctor girlfriend has moved to Boston to specialize, leaving him without the benefit of female companionship. But not to worry! In "Shakespeare" we are introducted to Polly -- a widow about Qwill's age who manages the local library. In Polly, Qwill seems to have found a soul mate.

Also, Mrs. Cobb, Qwill's landlady from Down Below (see "The Cat Who Turned On and Off") and his new cook and housekeeper (see "The Cat Who Played Post Office") decided to re-marry. Will the third time prove the charm for Mrs. Cobb?

This mystery, set once again in Pickax (pop. 3,000) while not the best of the series is certainly an entertaining read. I enjoyed it.
