   More on the Cat Who books: this is from the Fantastic Fiction website. The author, Lilian Jackson Braun lived to be age 98, she passed away in 2011. The history of Lilian Jackson Braun is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels. Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim; The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. In 1966, The New York Times labeled Braun, “the new detective of the year.” Then, for reasons unknown, the rising mystery author disappeared from the publishing scene.

   It wasn’t until 1986 that the Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of an original paperback, The Cat Who Saw Red. Within two years, Berkley released four new novels in paperback and reprinted the three mysteries from the sixties.

   Even though Braun claimed that her cats had never done anything extraordinary, her fictional cats, Koko and Yum Yum, solved crimes and delighted fans in book after book.

   If you go to the website FantasticFiction and search Miranda James you’ll find the complete list of this series; it starts with the book you mentioned. My library doesn’t have the first 5, but I’ll start with Murder and Old Books. The author is actually a man :> This is a great website! Has most modern authors’ list of books, with descriptions and new titles not yet released.

   I read all the Cat Who mysteries. I think the last few were ghost written though; not nearly as good.
