The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts

by Lilian Jackson Braun

Book 10 of the The Cat Who series

A terrified call from Qwilleran's friend and former housekeeper Iris Cobb brings him to a historic farmhouse too late to prevent her death. Claims of noises and ghosts in the walls lead him to move into the building with Koko and Yum Yum while he searches for a human source of the haunting. Museum politics, family history, and a vulnerable child deepen his interest in what frightened Iris. Eerie but cozy, this mystery suits readers who enjoy old farmhouses, local museums, protective sleuths, and supernatural-seeming disturbances steadily resolved through observation, community knowledge, and feline vigilance.
