Goodreads Summary: Is it just a case of summertime blues or a full-blown career crisis? Newspaper reporter Jim Qwilleran isn't sure, but he's hoping a few days in the country will help him sort out his life.
With cats Koko and Yum Yum for company, Qwilleran heads for a cabin owned by a long-time family friend, "Aunt Fanny." But from the moment he arrives, things turn strange. Eerie footsteps cross the roof at midnight. Local townsfolk become oddly secretive. And then while fishing, Qwilleran hooks onto a murder mystery. Soon Qwilleran enters into a game of cat and mouse with the killer, while Koko develops a sudden and uncanny fondness for classical music...


Review:
As any of the other Cat Who books I've read, The Cat Who Played Brahms was hilarious. Koko and Yum Yum once again make my terrible days just a little bit better, which is a good thing unless I want to lash out at costumers. Anyway, Qwilleran decides to go to the country where he intends to spend his vacation writing a book. But when he arrives he starts to hear weird sounds at night and the townspeople are keeping secrets. Soon after a fishing trip, a former cop gets murdered and Koko once again comes to save the day and help solve the case. This is a killer book for those who love cozy mysteries and those who love cats!
