The Cat Who Could Read Backwards by Lillian Jackson Braun

5Feb. Kindle.

What fun. I guess I was ready for some fluff. It has been years since I first read these and I had almost forgotten how much I had enjoyed them.

In the series opener, Qwilleran becomes acquainted with Kao K'uo Kung, who apparently does not object to having his name reduced to Koko as long as he has his gently braised filet for dinner. He falls into Qwill's keeping when his former companion (can't call him "owner") is murdered. Out of loyalty, I suppose, Koko goes on to solve the murders. Qwill's function is primarily to explain Koko's insights to the police, since they are disinclined to seriously consider evidence produced by a cat.
