This 7th book in the popular Cat Who series opens in November as all of Moose County waits for the arrival of 'the Big One' the first snow fall of the season. Jim Qwilleran, known as Qwill or Mr. Q, has recently inherited a fortune contingent on his residence in Moose County for 5 years. He has decided to leave his career as a journalist 'Down Below' and stay in Moose County, '400 miles North of everywhere'. Qwill has begun to use his fortune to help the people of Moose County by various contributions channeled through the 'K fund'.
His largest planned project is setting up a museum in the mansion full of antiques he has inherited but the one possibly nearest his heart is luring a decent cook into one of the local restaurants. The cook has arrived accompanied by a friend of Qwill's from down below, Hixie Rice, and is a bit of a mystery.
Other matters that concern Qwill are the romance of his housekeeper, Iris Cobb and his own budding romance with the local librarian, Polly Duncan. Qwill has also taken an interest in the local newspaper and the family that runs it. His companion, Koko, a Siamese cat has taken an interest in pushing valuable volumes of Shakespeare plays off the bookshelves. As always by the end of the book Qwill has resolved all issues and realizes that Koko was ahead of him all the way.
The emphasis in the series has always been more on the characters, the cozy element and less on the mystery aspect. This is particularly true in this one. If you are a Moose County fan you MUST read this book ,
