Criticize Appertaining To Books The Cat Who Lived High (Cat Who... #11)
Normally, I give the books in this series a middle rating because they're just okay to me. But this one just bothered me. First, it's like the author had a stick up her ass about how much better it is to live in the country than the city because the city is a dark and dangerous place. Except that in the books that take place in the country, she's killed off characters left and right. Second, the author wrote the first 3 books in the late 60s and set the books in that time period. Then she took a

FIRST READ: With this in mind, he decides to venture "Down Below"--the local's derogatory term for the city--where he moves into temporary quarters at the Casablanca , a colorful 1920's apartment building he hopes to save from the demolition crews.But things are off to dubious beginnings when Qwill gets trapped in the elevator shaft, and is later accosted by an irate matron wielding a lethal cane. SECOND READ: Worse things are still to come, when Qwill discovers that his penthouse is covered

Of course I liked it, having a favorite "sleuth" and a beloved pair of cats as characters. The mystery is solved in the book to my satisfaction. However, there is other story line that really ... isn't resolved. I know there are lots of books in the series, but I don't have the feeling this is to be re-addressed in a future book, just that it is left hanging.

Oh I liked this adventure!!!! While not in Pickax, it was fun to watch the mystery unfold as Jim Qwilleran and the cats heads back to the city. And wait until you get to chapter 13!!!

THE CAT WHO LIVED HIGH along with THE CAT WHO READ BACKWARDS and THE CAT WHO ATE DANISH MODERN are my top three favorites of the Koko and Yumyum mysteries and yes, Jim Qwilleran (with that "ridiculous W") too of course. In this one, Jim, as founder of the uber wealthy K-Fund, is called upon by some of his old friends in Junk Town to rescue the ageing and dilapidated Casablanca, a 1920s apartment building previously known as the go-to address of anyone who was anyone and fabulously rich in that

Book Review 4 of 5 stars to The Cat Who Lived High, the 11th book in the "Cat Who" cozy mystery series written by Lilian Jackson Braun in 1990. For fans of the series, this one's a real treat. Qwill heads back "Down Below" to investigate something back in Junktown, where he formerly resided (sort of) prior to the Pickax Klingenschoen inheritance. It's a good cross between the two places... but Braun takes it a step further, tricking fans into believing she's killed off Qwill in this book.

In this 11th book in the series, the nomadic Qwill accepts an offer to spend the winter in a fully furnished penthouse apartment Down Below. The penthouse is at the top of the historic Casablanca hotel, now gone to seed, and the purpose of this residency is to determine whether the K fund will underwrite the restoration of the once elegant and famous building.The mystery involves the previous tenant of the penthouse who was apparently the victim of a murder-suicide. But it isnt long before Koko
