Description

Jim Qwilleran and his cats, Koko and Yum Yum, have a close encounter with a killer in this mystery in the bestselling Cat Who series.

UFOs in Mooseville? Rumors abound that a missing backpacker has been abducted, and it looks like Jim Qwilleran’s sedate summer may be interrupted by an investigation—with the help of his own little aliens, Koko and Yum Yum. And when the backpacker’s body turns up—and transplanted Floridian Owen Bowen is found dead soon afterward—the search for intelligent life turns into a hunt for a murderer...

  • Offbeat but good

    In TCW Saw Stars, LJB's style is lighter, more fanciful and less focused than usual. The plot is a bit thin and leaves two mysteries unresolved - the death of the missing camper and the drowning of the young man who was an expert swimmer in which case hypothermia is too glib an explanation. The conclusion (dream or an ET experience?) is humorous, but too silly even for the light hearted TCW series. Nevertheless, this was an enjoyable summer read.
  • Stellar!

    I have read all of Ms. Jackson Braun's "Cat who" books and this is one of the best! A great summer read.
