The Cat Who Sniffed Glue (The Cat Who… Mysteries, Book 8)

Jim Qwilleran shares his bachelor apartment with two of Moose County's most notorious felines. Siamese, Koko and Yum Yum, share their patron's insatiable curiosity, but do they really have the talent for detection that Pickax lawman Andrew Brodie suspects.

Something smells of danger in this endearing and witty mystery

Pickax's sedate calm is occasionally disturbed by random acts of vandalism, but nothing more serious than paint daubed on civic property. Until, that is, the cold-blooded murder of young banker Harley Fitch and his new bride Bella, which is altogether more shattering.

Qwilleran's moustache twitches in anticipation of mystery and Koko develops a fascination for all things glutinous. Just what is the attraction of the musty old books under the guardianship of the softly-spoken Edd Smith; of Harley Fitch and his intricately detailed marine models; of Wally the taxidermist?

Koko is sure to sniff something out...

The Cat Who Sniffed Glue, part of the The Cat Who… Mysteries series, offers a captivating journey into unexpected intrigue.
