The Cat Who Brought Down the House

About “The Cat Who Brought Down the House”

Twenty-five years ago, Jim Qwilleran entered the life of the narrator as a down-and-out crime reporter. He was tall, world-weary, and carried all his belongings in two suitcases. He was willing to take any minor beat to return to newspapering. Strange circumstances made him the richest man in the northeast central United States. To deal with his wealth, he started a foundation to give money away. He now lives in a small town, 400 miles north of everywhere, and writes for a small newspaper. He dates a librarian and has two adopted cats, one of which, Koko, has an unusual ability to sense right from wrong and help solve crimes. Qwilleran is known for his humor, individuality, and ability to listen. The Cat Who Brought Down the House is the twenty-fifth book in the Qwilleran series.
