![]() When Qwilleran moves in to work on his new gastronomical assignment, strange things begin to happen …” Not just the mystery of an unsolved ‘suicide’ which hangs over the old mansion, but something ominous in the present-day residence. The cover art with its bloody cat paws and rolling pin caught my eye and so I read the synopsis on the back. The book was newly available in paperback (the first Jove edition having been released in April 1986). Not long after starting to read Agatha Christie, I decided to branch out and read mysteries by other authors and chose this book-after browsing the shelves at my local B. Thus, after a hiatus of nearly twenty years, Lilian Jackson Braun (1913-2011) begins The Cat Who Saw Red, the fourth book in the beloved series and the first I ever read. “Jim Qwilleran slumped in a chair in the Press Club dining room, his six-feet-two frame telescoped into a picture of dejection and his morose expression intensified by the droop of his oversized moustache.” ![]()
