From AudioFile
This installment in the popular series featuring journalist Jim Qwilleran and his perspicacious Siamese, Koko and Yum-Yum, takes the trio on vacation to "Aunt Fanny's" lakeside cottage. Suspicious behavior among the townspeople, a jailbreak, and a neighborhood murder convince Quill that city life doesn't have a patch on small towns for excitement. George Guidall's versatile voice deftly adapts to the story's pace, speeding up just enough to hook the listener with the rising excitement. Each character speaks distinctly, and even the Siamese cats' yowls are convincing. Guidall has recorded five other Qwilleran novels; and veteran listeners will welcome the continuity while newcomers will become fans of these entertaining mysteries. N.B.H.
