The Barnes & Noble ReviewIt's no vacation for ex-crime reporter James Qwilleran (the richest man in the northeast-central U.S.) and his feline companions, Koko and Yum Yum, when they go to stay at the historic Nutcracker Inn in Black Creek. From the first, Qwill and his pair of pampered pets encounter suspicious occurrences -- from the reputed haunting of the old inn to a series of disturbing incidents involving the occupants of the creekside cabins at the lovely resort. Of course, for Qwill and his cats, mysterious events are pretty much business as usual.. Bestselling author Lilian Jackson Braun has created some memorable characters here -- some quirky, some cantankerous, others secretive or charming -- each adding something special to The Cat Who Went up the Creek. Of course, it's Qwill's job to dig up the true stories that are going on behind the scenes while navigating the confusing flood of clues his perceptive Siamese, Koko, sniffs out. It's not always easy for Qwill to fit investigating into his busy schedule -- and this time that includes pursuing pirates and prospectors, attending a Gilbert & Sullivan production and a rowdy historical reenactment, evaluating antiques, interviewing interesting folks, and distributing unexpected largesse. But Qwill has learned (as have cat lovers and mystery fans everywhere) that wherever the Cat Who. leads, it's best to follow. Sue Stone
