I love this series of books and am working my way through all of them. I couldn't find "The Cat Who Wasn't There" in the library, so I bought this one and own several of the others. These are "mysteries" solved by a male journalist with the help of his "smart cat" (who has a loveable female kitty companion). This is totally light but entertaining reading. While each book stands alone, I found it best to start with the first one and work my way through since several of the characters are recurring and each book progresses through the passages in the main characters' lives. The first in the series is "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards" and was published in 1966 (The female cat doesn't appear until later books). The last was published in 2007, so the books reflect the times in which they were written. "The Cat Who Wasn't There" tells the tale of the tailed crime solver who was NOT in Scotland where a death occurred. Was it natural causes or murder? Koko the cat helps Qwilleran figure it out, even tho' Qwill usually misses the cues until the very end.Read full review
All of Lillian Jackson Braun books in her "Cat Who" series never fail to entertain. I'm reading the entire series for the second time and you get to feel at home with Qwill and the 'gang'. Koko and Yum Yum are really the stars but the continuous story lines leave you wanting the next installment in the long series. Easy reads for any day.

I'm reading the series of Cat Who books. They are all very good. Nice, clean reading. They are light murder mysteries. You don't have to read all of them but I enjoy them so much that I am reading them all. Although I did start out of order but if you start at the beginning with the first book you have more of an idea of the characters and what has happened previously.
