The Cat Who....stole my heart

Lilian Jackson Braun, the author of 29 cozy mysteries set in Moose County, 400 miles north of everywhere, died this week at the age of 97. She leaves behind her legacy of wonderful The Cat Who...books which began the animal-based cozies that are in abundance today.

I recommend these books for anyone wanting a break from violence (and overt sex). There is romance and couples spending the night together. But the bedroom door is closed to the reader. And, of course, there are KoKo and YumYum, the lovely Siamese cats that became the center of James MacIntosh Qwilleran's world.

Thank you, LJB, for some wonderful hours and many smiles. RIP, dear lady.
