The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers

by Lilian Jackson Braun

Book 29 of the The Cat Who series

The planned conversion of Pickax's Old Hulk into a senior center is disrupted when the building burns, while a young woman's fatal bee sting raises quieter suspicions. Qwilleran also faces personal change when Polly Duncan travels to Paris and decides to remain there. A second destructive fire and Koko's behavior keep attention on dangers that the town might otherwise accept as misfortune. Reflective and episodic, this final series novel suits longtime readers who enjoy Moose County routines, community projects, feline intuition, and a familiar sleuth adapting to losses that cannot all be resolved like murders.
