I'm continuing to catch up on some of the mysteries I've been meaning to read for a few years. This one is part of Braun's cat tales from Pickax, UP, Michigan from 2002 and is a short, quick read for lovers of her character, Jim Quilleran, and his super cats, Koko and Yum Yum. Those who prefer his librarian friend, Polly Duncan, will be slightly disappointed in this novel because Polly and one of her crones is away on a grand tour of the eastern U.S.
Jim decides to take his own vacation at a nearby resort, the Nutcracker Inn, which experiences a plethera of murders while Jim is in residence. Of course, Koko and Jim solve the who done it and save the reputation of the inn.
For those who love this series, "The Cat Who Went Up the Creek" will be standard, entertaining fare. Others may want to pass it up for more substantial and recent works.
