Book Review By Christy Maurer
The Cat Who Came to Breakfast by Lilian Jackson Braun

At the request of Nick Bamba, Qwill and his 2 Siamese go to Breakfast Island to investigate some unexplained events. While there he rescues an heiress and solves the crimes (with the help of the cats and some dominoes). This is my favorite Cat Who book!
