Another in the Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, mysteries. This is an early Pickaxe in Moose County "400 miles north of everywhere" story involving murder and the twisted backgrounds of various Moose County families. Koko provides the clues to solving the mystery, this time relating to his licking the glue off of stamps and envelopes.

Great as always. Quilleran and his cats and Moose County and the people, all fun and entertaining. Mysteries written with clean language and good humor.

In this eighth book in the series, Koko develops a fetish for glue and starts licking envelopes, postage stamps, etc. Also, there are several deaths of members from the "old" (rich and important) families. Polly seems to have cooled off for Qwill but he eventually wins her back.

I read all the books in this light-hearted series one after another and really enjoyed them. The cat KoKo and his feline partner, Yum Yum, are endearing. Their owner is a former newspaper reporter, James Qwilleran. They live in a small town with lots of interesting residents. James can't seem to avoid murders though he sure would like to. The series ended abruptly with unresolved relationships due to the author's death at 97.
Another great mystery involving Qwill and Koko. A very quick read.
Cute story.
