Sweet cozy mystery with a good sense of humor tossed in for ease of reading. I read this as part of an online challenge on GR. There are a ton of these books in the series. I wouldn't rush out to read another one, but overall it was a fine read.

Qwill and the kitties take yet another vacation and bad things happen. This time they spend time on Breakfast Island (or Pear Island, Grand Island, or Providence Island, depending on who you ask). Anyway, a vacation is a vacation and Qwill is a huge skinflint, so he goes, natch. Breakfast Island is being overdeveloped for tourists, and this causes unrest, as you might imagine. There is lots of talk of fudge, which made me laugh. Go to any tourist trap place and you'll find fudge. How this started, I have no idea, but it is true. Or at least it used to be.
There's a murder, and his good friends Lori and Nick Bamba have opened an inn and invite him to stay. I'm surprised there is room in the cabin for Qwill, his mustache, the kitties, and his huge ego. Although he's a little off balance because the lovely Polly is off to Oregon and he's scared she will leave him forever. Qwill, you are an ass. He gets involved with one of the rich, original families on the island, ferrets out the mysterious ongoings, and saves the day with the help of Koko, as usual.
The end is silly, the mystery is weak, and you know damn well I will read book 17. Stop judging me. I love these books. 3 stars.

I just can't get enough of these crazy cats and these delightfully predictable cozy murder mysteries. This is the fluff of my reading spectrum, and I am enjoying all the cheesy goodness to the fullest extent.

3.5. I prefer the ones where they're in Pickax, but the mystery in this one was better. I don't read them in order so was pleased to get to know Liz's full backstory.
George Guidall does an excellent job narrating.

Fun, light airplane read. Thought the ending was a bit abrupt and disappointing, however.
