A delightful and clever cozy mystery where a runaway train tycoon, a trail of secrets, and two extraordinary Siamese cats keep Moose County on edge — and one curious columnist on the case.
 
When local railroad executive Floyd Trevelyan suddenly disappears — along with a suspiciously large sum of money — columnist Jim Qwilleran and his brilliant cats, Koko and Yum Yum, are on the track of a new mystery. But when a shocking murder follows and the small town of Pickax starts buzzing with rumors, Qwill realizes this case may have more twists than the railway line itself. With Koko’s sharp instincts and Yum Yum’s playful curiosity, Qwill uncovers clues that prove not everything — or everyone — is as it seems.
 
In The Cat Who Blew the Whistle, Lilian Jackson Braun blends humor, mystery, and her trademark warmth in a story that keeps readers turning pages from start to finish. When the once-prosperous Trevelyan family’s fortune — and patriarch — vanish into thin air, Moose County’s cozy calm is shattered.
 
As Qwill follows a trail of suspicious business dealings, secret romances, and small-town scandal, Koko begins acting strangely — pulling books off shelves, hiding objects, and signaling that the cats have already solved what their human has yet to piece together. With its witty dialogue, gentle suspense, and endearing cast of recurring characters, this mystery captures everything readers love about The Cat Who… series: intelligence, charm, and a purr-fect sense of humor.
