The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare
Book 7 of the The Cat Who series
The eccentric publisher of the local newspaper dies in what appears to be a road accident, but Qwilleran doubts the official explanation. Tensions around the paper, a suspicious fire, and the publisher's complicated personal life give several Pickax residents reasons to prefer silence. Koko's attention to an unusual volume of Shakespeare helps Qwilleran recognize the human drama being reenacted around him. Literary and small-town cozy, this mystery suits readers who enjoy newspaper offices, Shakespearean clues, community scandals, and feline sleuthing that transforms familiar quotations into evidence.
