A clever and comforting cozy mystery where a Thanksgiving celebration, a local murder, and two brilliant Siamese cats reveal that even the quietest towns have plenty to talk about.
 
When Moose County celebrates the dedication of a new bookstore — and the return of migrating turkeys — columnist Jim Qwilleran and his clever cats, Koko and Yum Yum, are in the middle of the festivities. But when a young man is found dead nearby, the joyful event turns grim. As the police scramble for answers, Qwill begins to suspect that his community’s newest mystery has deep roots. Guided by Koko’s strange new habits — and his flair for pointing Qwill in the right direction — this Thanksgiving may be one the locals never forget.
 
In The Cat Who Talked Turkey, Lilian Jackson Braun blends her signature wit, warmth, and cozy small-town intrigue into another irresistible tale. As Qwill prepares his annual column and enjoys life in Pickax City, he’s once again drawn into a web of secrets that only his intuitive Siamese can help him untangle. Between the grand opening of the new bookstore, a suspicious death, and Koko’s latest cryptic behavior, Qwill realizes there’s much more to this case than meets the eye.
 
Full of gentle humor, community spirit, and Braun’s timeless storytelling charm, this installment captures everything fans love about The Cat Who… series — intelligent plotting, feline intuition, and the comforts of small-town life.
