The Cat Who Smelled a Rat -- Lilian Jackson Braun

<b>Jim Qwilleran and his extraordinary Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum have more than one fire to put out when a deadly arsonist sets Moose County ablaze in this mystery in the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Cat Who series.</b> <p/>The way Jim Qwilleran sees it, there's nothing worse than being left high and dry. But that's exactly where he's been ever since a record-breaking drought hit Moose County. He's bedraggled. Beleaguered. And, following a rash of fires at local historic mine sites, deeply bewildered. Some blame the blazes on bad weather conditions, but Qwill's thinking arson. And when a mysterious explosion is followed by a blood-chilling murder, he starts seriously praying for snow--and answers. Good thing Koko can smell trouble a mile away...<br><br><b>Author:</b> Lilian Jackson Braun<br><b>Publisher:</b> Berkley Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/08/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 304<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.33lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.68h x 4.20w x 0.87d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780515132267<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 8<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>46294 / Cat Who Smelled a Rat<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>The history of <b>Lilian Jackson Braun</b> is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels.
