1 About this book

When Mrs. Cobb heard unearthly noises in the antique-filled farmhouse, she called Jim Qwilleran for help. But he was too late. It looked as if his kindly ex-housekeeper had been frightened to death--but by whom? Or what? Now Qwilleran's moved into the historic farmhouse with his two cat companions--and Koko the Siamese is spooked. Is it a figment of feline imagination--or the clue to a murder in Moose County? And does Qwilleran have a ghost of a chance of solving this haunting mystery?

Qwilleran--a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime. Koko--a Siamese cat with extraordinary talents and a flair for mystery. Yum Yum--a lovable Siamese adored by her two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most delightful team in detective fiction!

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