Neko wa Dorobou o Oikakeru [The Cat Tails a Thief] (Hayakawa Mystery Library) UP 1/6/00
The Cat Who Tailed a Thief
(mystery)
The new Koko and Yum Yum book. Much is written about the merry goings-on in Moose County and Pickax during winter, and I enjoyed that more than the mystery. Did anyone else feel that Koko wasn't very active this time...?
Neko wa Chiizu o Nedaru [The Cat Asks for Cheese] (Hayakawa Mystery Library) UP 6/9/99
The Cat Who Said Cheese
(mystery)
Koko and Yum Yum are present as always, but the mystery seems much more interested in the humans this time. A lot of cheese appears in this book; as someone who has been crazy about dairy products lately, I recommend this mystery.
I liked how you saw the problems and issues concerning the characters introduced near the beginning of the book gradually resolved. This certainly is a most flavorful volume of the series.

Neko wa Kurosetto ni Kakureru [The Cat Hides in the Closet] (Hayakawa Mystery Library)
The Cat Who Blew the Whistle
(mystery)
The Koko and Yum Yum series. Even a cat-hater like me liked Koko this time around. As usual, though, I didn't like the case or cat's far-fetched supernatural antics
The Cat Who Came to Breakfast
(mystery)
I thought Koko and Yum Yum were cute, but the far-fetched aspects of the cats and case weren't much to my tastes at all. I didn't think Qwill particularly needed their help anyway; would it be bad, really, if all the cats were was cute?
The Cat Who Went into the Closet
(mystery)
As usual, Koko was likable. Conversely, though, was it me, or is Yum Yum's character a little thin? The more journalistic angle of this book fits Qwill very well.
