THE CAT WHO SMELLED A RAT

Narrator George Guidall brings the small town of Pickax to life as he characterizes residents' anxieties about a coming snowstorm with excellent vocal changes in gender. When he switches to a staccato-paced newscaster relating the story of homicide and suspected arson at the Big B mine site, Guidall sets the stage for Koko, Siamese cat extraordinaire and erstwhile detective, to become involved in the crime. Koko’s owner, James Quilleran, journalist and detective, sets out to "trap the rat," with Koko running alongside. Performed with delightful cat-like music breaks, this Cat Who. . . mystery is twenty-third in the series. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
