Om författaren

Lilian Jackson Braun was born on June 20, 1913. After starting out as a copywriter for Detroit department stores, she worked for The Detroit Free Press for nearly 30 years. In the 1960s, her cat died in a fall from a 10th-floor window in Detroit. Neighbors later told her that someone pushed the visa mer cat. To work through her feelings, she wrote a short story based on the incident. The result was her first three novels, The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern, and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. After an 18-year break, she published The Cat Who Saw Red. During her lifetime, she wrote 29 titles in The Cat Who... series. She died on June 4, 2011 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the age of 97. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

The history of Lilian Jackson Braun is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels. Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim; The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. In 1966, The New York Times labeled Braun, "the new detective of the year." Then, for reasons unknown, the rising mystery author disappeared from the publishing scene.

It wasn't until 1986 that the Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of an original paperback, The Cat Who Saw Red. Within two years, Berkley released four new novels in paperback and reprinted the three mysteries from the sixties.
Braun was the "Good Living" editor of The Detroit Free Press for 29 years. She is retired from journalism and is currently writing mysteries full-time. She lives with two Siamese cats and her husband, Earl Bettinger, in North Carolina.

Short and Tall Tales: Moose County Legends (Cat Who… av Lilian Jackson Braun

I have read the [Cat Who Series] and think having a book published to be the book James Qwilleran was working on in the series was a clever idea. I should have liked them as much as I did most of the preceeding books but didn't. Basically, Quill and the cats deserved better.

The Cat Who Could Read Backwards av Lilian Jackson Braun

I have read quite a few of Lillian Braun's cat mysteries but mostly those written after Jim Qwilleran moved to Pickaxe in Moose County. This book filled in a Bingo card and introduced me to the series as The Cat Who Could Read Backwards was the first book, published in 1966. There are two more from the 60s then a huge gap util 1986 when Braun starts the series in ernest and publishes a book almost every year.

I enjoyed the inaugural book as we are introduced to the Siamese cat Kao K'o-Kung and learn how the curmudgeonly journalist came to adopt the intelligent feline.… (mer)

The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern (Cat Who... #2) av Lilian Jackson Braun

Former crime reporter Jim Qwilleran is ready to get off the art beat, though he doesn't expect to move on to interior design. But the work isn't boring, when the first subject of the newspaper's new interior design magazine is burglarized, and there's even a death involved. And it won't be the last death in the interior design world.

The first full adventure of Koko and Qwill has a lot of charm, as Qwill takes to cat ownership with aplomb. Koko's antics lead Qwill to question whether the cat is somehow psychic or it's all just a big coincidence. The interactions between man and cat are always my favorite thing about the books in this series. And now we have Yum Yum to add to the fun in future books.

The mystery itself was better done than the first book, in my opinion. I was more interested in it and felt I had a chance of solving it. I didn't, not really, but there was at least one crime I had pretty much figured out correctly.

In my review for the first book, I mentioned the male chauvinism, which is still present in this book, but not as heartily. Unless you count Odd Bunsen, a married father of six, who makes somewhat suggestive comments about other women all throughout this book. But hey, at least he only talks about looking, and nothing more...a distinction I'm sure his wife would appreciate.

Overall, it was a fun read, and I would recommend this book for fans of the classic whodunit & cozy mystery genres.… (mer)

The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare (Cat Who..., #7) av Lilian Jackson Braun

After inheriting millions of dollars, former crime reporter Jim Qwilleran has started to make the far-north town of Pickax home. When a prominent local man dies, Qwilleran can't help but question whether or not it was really an accident. And is there a connection to the sudden rash of fires in the small town?

There is so much tragedy and loss in this book, it's a little heavier than other recent entries in the series. It was good to see some of the characters from previous books, like Hixie Rice from The Cat Who Saw Red, though not necessarily good to see her luck hasn't really changed. To be fair, it isn't as bad as poor Mrs. Cobb's luck with men. One thing is for sure—Braun does not let things stagnate in this series; one can never get too comfortable with anything, as it could change at any time.

I liked this book but not as much as the several preceding it. Part of my issue was that I was thrown off by the mention of Qwill having already lived in Pickax for over a year? Apparently a lot of time had passed between this book and the previous, or I'm remembering the previous one wrong, but I was really confused for a while and felt like I'd missed something. There is also a lot of off-mystery story in this one that I didn't feel were particularly interesting or worth including. Maybe it was meant to add some red herrings to the main mystery, but it felt detached to me. Still, I'm really into the series now and looking forward to reading more.… (mer)
