The Cat Who Played Post Office

by Lilian Jackson Braun

Book 6 of the The Cat Who series

After inheriting the Klingenschoen fortune, Qwilleran moves with Koko and Yum Yum into an enormous mansion in Pickax under the terms of the bequest. The cats' odd interest in the house's mail chute and a brightly painted room revives questions about Daisy Mull, a former maid who vanished. Qwilleran's new position among Moose County's wealthy residents exposes both community history and an unsavory crime hidden inside the estate. Homey and clue-filled, this mystery suits readers who enjoy inherited houses, missing servants, small-town secrets, and cats turning architectural quirks into messages their owner can eventually understand.
