The Cat Who Knew a Cardinal

By: Lilian Jackson Braun

Narrated by: Theodore Bikel

Back in Pickax, Jim Qwilleran expects to resume a quiet life, but the people and animals of Pickax have other ideas. A noisy cardinal wakes him every morning, nosy neighbors drop by uninvited, and the Siamese cats—Koko and Yum Yum—misbehave, even sneezing on guests. As if they weren't bad enough, Qwill's long-time companion, Polly Duncan, acts as though she is in love—with another man.

Worst of all, Qwill finds a body in his apple orchard. When his friend, Dennis Hough, becomes the chief suspect, Qwill embarks on a crusade to clear Hough's name and win back Polly's heart. Even Koko sniffs out a few clues. But will their efforts be too little too late? Not even Koko knows for sure in the quirky, engaging romp that was a New York Times bestseller.

Love these books

I read these books ages ago and wanted to listen to one again. Totally charming.

Road trip

Good for long drive😁 would like to hear read by someone else, but would still recommend

Good story

Good story but not my favorite narrator.
Lillian Braun's regular narrator, George Guidall, is superb reading these books.

abridged

I was not very careful before I bought this. Other listeners should take note that unlike other of Braun's audiobooks, this one is abridged and it is not read by George Guidall, although the reader was fine.

Narrator was not a good choice

Inconsistent narration-- doing one Scottish voice for the tailor Scotty but not one for Chief Brody. The narrator's accented voice was inappropriate for the story and very distracting. However his voice is beautiful to listen to in general and I will look up other books narrated by him. Great story by Lilian Jackson Braun of course!
