The Cat Who... Mysteries

The Cat Who… Mysteries by Lilian Jackson Braun

Written by Lilian Jackson Braun, The Cat Who… series blends classic cosy mystery with light humour, eccentric characters, and the irresistible charm of two clever cats who always seem to sense when something’s amiss.

The stories centre on Jim Qwilleran, a seasoned reporter who inherits a fortune and relocates to the small town of Pickax in Moose County — “400 miles north of everywhere.” Along with his brilliant Siamese cat Koko and the sweet-natured Yum Yum, Qwilleran investigates murders, disappearances and curious happenings that disturb his peaceful rural community.

Set against the backdrop of quirky small-town life, Braun’s novels capture a comforting mix of mystery, warmth and wit. The series is perfect for those who prefer gentle, character-driven crime fiction filled with charm, cats and clever clues.

Perfect for fans of cosy mysteries, small-town whodunits, and authors like Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton and Rita Mae Brown.
