The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare (The Cat Who... Mysteries, #7)

by Lilian Jackson Braun

In this mystery in the bestselling Cat Who series, there’s something rotten in the small town of Pickax—at least to the sensitive noses of newspaperman Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum.

An accident has claimed the life of the local paper’s eccentric publisher, but to Qwilleran and his feline friends it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret, but Koko’s snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove CATastrophic... because somewhere in Pickax, a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look.

[Mystereity Reviews]

I began reading this series years ago and read each book as I could find them. After reviewing the list of The Cat Who books, I realized there were 2 that I hadn't read, this one and #20. I love the simplicity of the stories, the small town charm (I'm from a small town, so I find it easy to relate to the setting) and I enjoy the eccentric characters. This series is the literary equivalent of fast food, quick and easy and enjoyable, you can pick up one of these books and finish it off in an afternoon.
