1 About this book

The Cat Who Played Brahms is the fifth book in The Cat Who Series, published in 1987. In this book, Jim Qwilleran decides to get out of the city for a while and go on vacation to Moose County, Pickax, in the countryside.

He stays at a lakeside cabin, owned by his old friend, Aunt Fanny. He has plans to write a book, however his plans get delayed when a peaceful fishing trip catches a body. Or is it simply an old tire, like the locals claim? (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Good for readers who want: a cozy mystery and cats.
