THE CAT WHO COULD READ BACKWARDS BY LILIAN JACKSON BRAUN is the first Cat Who mystery of the series. It introduces the reader to two of the three main characters of the series Koko and Jim Qwilleran, an out of work down on his luck reporter who will do anything including the art beat to get a job at a newspaper. Qwilleran, know to his friends & devoted reading fans, as Quill thinks the art beat is going to be dullsville. But when a murder pops up things get hot and his reporter nose gets to investigating.
Koko , a very intelligent siamese cat, who read newspaper headlines(backwards) , eats chopped beef(in gravy or broth, heated) and is sometimes more intelligent than his soon to be roomy, helps solve the crimes.
I fell in love with the Cat Who series a long time ago & the other day I dug into the bookcase to renew my friendship! Yes, these are cozy mysteries but very entertaining and worthy of a read or in my case a re-read.
