A witty and relaxing cozy mystery where two clever Siamese cats and their curious human uncover crime and chaos on what was supposed to be a peaceful island getaway.
 
When a luxury resort opens on Breakfast Island, it’s supposed to bring new life to the quiet community — but instead, it brings controversy, corruption, and crime. Columnist Jim Qwilleran and his remarkable Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, head to the island for a bit of rest, only to find that trouble has already checked in. When a resort guest is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Qwill and his feline sleuths must piece together a puzzle involving local politics, shady developers, and secrets buried beneath paradise.
 
In The Cat Who Came to Breakfast, Lilian Jackson Braun whisks readers away from the snowy calm of Moose County to a breezy island retreat — but even in paradise, mystery follows Qwill and his cats. As tensions rise between longtime islanders and wealthy newcomers, strange accidents turn deadly, and Qwill realizes that something far more sinister than tourism is at play.
 
With Braun’s signature blend of humor, gentle suspense, and irresistible small-town charm, this installment captures the joy of cozy mystery reading. Between Koko’s odd new behaviors and Yum Yum’s playful thieving, Qwill soon finds that his whiskered companions may hold the key to catching a killer before the tide washes all the clues away.
