Reception
Peter Cannon, of Publishers Weekly, reviewed the book saying, " In spite of two murders and a pair of villains, the tale is as cozy as an hour spent cuddling your favorite cat." [Publishers Weekly; 12/1/2003, Vol. 250 Issue 48, p43-43, 1/6p] Ilene Cooper, of Booklist, reviewed the book saying, "Loyal readers find the series inconsistencies and idiosyncrasie charming, but even they, at times, must wish for less of Qwill and more of the cats. [Booklist; 11/15/2003, Vol. 100 Issue 6, p547-547, 1/6p] Kent Rasmussen, of Library Journal, reviewed the book saying, "As always, George Guidall's warm reading brings the characters alive and ensures that Braun's devoted listeners will welcome another visit to Moose County. No point in recommending this; if your library has "Cat Who" devotees, you must acquire it." [Library Journal; 5/15/2004, Vol. 129 Issue 9, p129-129, 1/7p]
