The Cat Who Played Brahms
Book 5 of the The Cat Who series
Uncertain about his career, Qwilleran takes Koko and Yum Yum to a lakeside cabin owned by longtime family friend Aunt Fanny. The hoped-for country retreat becomes troubling when local relationships, unexplained absences, and signs of violence disturb the summer quiet. Koko's response to music and objects in the cabin gives Qwilleran reason to distrust the convenient explanations offered around him. Rustic and lightly suspenseful, this mystery suits readers who enjoy lake communities, career crossroads, old family connections, and vacations where feline curiosity uncovers the danger a city reporter hoped to leave behind.
