The Cat Who Sang for the Birds
As winter is over, Qwill, Koko, and Yum-Yum have returned to residence in the reconverted apple barn. Koko and Yum-Yum are enjoying the new gazebo that gives them special viewing pleasures of other critters as much as Qwill enjoys the fresh air, reading, and entertaining guests.
For Jim Qwilleran and his lovable cats, Koko and Yum Yum, the rites of spring are celebrated with the fine art of bird-calling… and a fateful act of murder. It seems that this spring, a cat’s fancy may turn to crime-solving…
Qwilleran once again follows his inquisitive journalist’s nose into a series of unusual events in Pickax, aided by his clever cat Koko. Qwill is able to tie the threads of the events together from information gleaned from the many relationships he has built over the years. Koko helps by trying to communicate pertinent information to Qwill by knocking over certain objects, leaving Qwill to figure out what Koko means.
