Publisher's summary

Pickax loves a big occasion. The Great Food Expo is about to begin, introducing new restaurants, country inns, food specialty shops and a new food page in the "Moose County Something." Lurking in the background is a killer determined to make this an event Pickax City will never forget.

The Expo begins with a literal bang: a bomb wrecks the hotel, killing a housekeeper and causing extensive damage. Luckily for Pickax, Qwill is on the scene, his moustache twitching with suspicions that this bomb was intended as something stronger than a warning to someone. His evidence: Koko and Yum Yum's new interest in cheese, especially Gruyere, Brie and Feta. Qwill and the Siamese are on a case that will demand all their feline intuition and mustachioed insight!

Irresistibly Implausible

Fun, lighthearted mystery novel. Not for those seeking grit, but great literary escapism. While there's a high body count, descriptions of violence are kept minimum. (Heads up, possible spoiler: while mostly easy listening, this novel does contain some descriptions of spousal abuse.) This is among the stronger Cat Who titles, and Guidall's narration is fantastic.

Smile and say Cheese

When cheese is the basic star you know the writer is good. (learned a lot about cheese) It's amazing how Lilian was able to make cheese one of the star components and make it work so well in the story. Love the easy pace. Just lay back and listen. Enjoy!

Entertaining but predictable

This series was recommended by a friend who said it was very funny. I think if I didn't have that expectation I would have enjoyed it more. It was humorous but no out loud laughs from me. Also I didn't Luke the narrators voice, again based a prejudicial expectations.

GREAT STORY AND NARRATION

This was a very good book. The narrator is the best I've ever heard. The characters come to life.

sweet

I absolutely love her style of writing, and the fact that she doesn't assume the her readers have a lack of intelligence. I enjoy the fact that on occasion I get to put my dictionary to use.
