Book Reviews of The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern

Book Review: This is an Incredibly Charming Book
Summary: 4 Stars

THE CAT WHO ATE DANISH MODERN is the second novel in the "Cat Who..." series by Lilian Jackson Braun. This book, which was originally written in 1968, features a middle-aged, bachelor reporter named James Qwillerian and his cat Koko, who work together to solve crimes.

If you're looking for a well-plotted murder mystery, you will no doubt be disappointed by this book. In many ways, the murder plot is almost an afterhtought (it's not very hard to guess who the killer is). The major reason to read THE CAT WHO ATE DANISH MODERN is to enjoy the sheer charm of Braun's writing style. Braun writes her prose in a light, gentle, and humorous manner that is difficult to resist. Qwillerian is a lovable character, and it's fun to watch him react to the people and events around him.

THE CAT WHO ATE DANISH MODERN is as light as a feather, but it's an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. If you like your mysteries cozy and traditional, without sex or violence or mean-spiritedness, this series is definitely worth a try. The first book in this series, THE CAT WHO COULD READ BACKWARDS, is equally enjoyable in my opinion.

My understanding is that the more recent books in the CAT WHO series are pretty awful, so you may want to avoid those and limit yourself to the earlier entires.

Summary of The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern

Jim Qwilleran is not exactly overwhelmed by his new assignment for the Daily Fluxion. Interior design has never been one of his specialties and now he's supposed to turn out an entire magazine on the subject every week! But the first issue of Gracious Abodes is barely off the presses when Qwilleran finds himself back on more familiar territory--the exclusive residence featured on the cover has been burglarized and the lady of the house found dead...now Qwilleran and Koko--the brilliant Siamese--have their respective moustache and whiskers twitching, and when Koko starts pawing clues in the dictionary and sniffing designer furniture, Qwilleran finds himself doing a feature on a very clever murder.
