Betty MengesThe cat who said cheese

I recently read The cat who said cheese by Lilian Jackson Braun, and liked it very much.  Jim Qwilleran, a crime reporter for a newspaper "Down Below", received a huge inheritance, and moved to Pickax, Moose County ("400 miles north of everywhere") to write a column for the Moose County Something.  The bulk of the inheritance was given away (though he must have kept some of it, for his two cats, Koko and YumYum, dined on fresh caviar, smoked salmon, and oysters!).  Qwilleran (with a lot of input from Koko) loved to solve mysteries; Ms. Braun wrote quite a few books about their antics.  The cat who said cheese involves a Pickax hotel bombing, the "Great Food Explo". a mysterious visitor, an eccentric beekeeper, and more.  It was a fun mystery to read, and I'll be reading more by this author!
