THE CAT WHO WENT UP THE CREEK

Braun's latest mystery in the long-running Cat Who series takes James Quilleran, news journalist, and his elegant Siamese cat, Koko, and KoKo's demure feminine counterpart, Yum-Yum, to the the Nutcracker Inn to solve a mystery. George Guidall's mellow voice and excellent articulation are on the mark for both male and female characters. When depicting a yowling cat, Guidall's deliberate lack of authenticity adds to the humor of the tale. A hidden staircase and turret rooms also add charm as the story unfolds. Dramatic music accompanies story breaks and provides emphasis for significant scenes. This audio will delight cat, cozy, and mystery lovers. G.D.W.
