An accident has claimed the life of the local paper’s eccentric publisher, but to Qwilleran and his feline friends it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret, but Koko’s snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove CATastrophic... because somewhere in Pickax, a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look. The stage is set for Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum, and the second act of murder most meow... Review: Good read, if you like cozy mysteries. - The Cat who...mysteries are a good read on a cold, gloomy day. Or when you need a distraction from current events. No profanity nor vivid descriptions of intimacy. Now a days, these types of books seem very rare. I have all 30 Book of the cat who series. However, book 29 and especially book 30, doesn't read like Lilian had written them. They don't have the same "voice." Seems like a ghost writer had written them. There's no love of the characters nor the locations this series was set in. It had central characters' actions not aligning with prior behaviors. Also, it's a sad ending. I do know there was another book she was going to write, but she passed away before she could write. I do know that problems with the last couple of books may be attributed to her having had a stroke. I still enjoy reading and rereading these books. Review: Great Story! - Out of all of the Cat Who series, this may be my favorite one. So much occurred in the story. I found myself laughing out loud some, sad at times, and angry with the murderer. Yet still I was surprised when I found out who the murderer was. Reading the Cat Who series leaves me wishing I could live in a similar town. I've read many cozy mysteries over the years and frequently felt that the author was trying very hard to be a cozy writer. Lillian Jackson Braun is not trying. She is a true cozy writer. I highly recommend her series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #219,498 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,854 in Cozy Animal Mysteries #3,161 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) #12,820 in Crime Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,243 Reviews | ## Images ![The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Z80o0TAPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read, if you like cozy mysteries. *by R***T on October 27, 2025* The Cat who...mysteries are a good read on a cold, gloomy day.

I highly recommend her series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Old Fashioned Mystery *by B***R on February 6, 2013* I discovered "The Cat Who" books by Lillian Jackson Braun sometime ago. I love them because they are simple, old fashioned stories. I am now reading the books I missed, starting with the first published book in the series. I usually read them on my Kindle, or listen on Audible. Some of the books are only available in print, not digitally. It was so easy to order on Amazon, and I have enjoyed following the story of Jim Qwilleran from the beginning. These books were written sometime ago and so do not include cell phones, etc. The murders that take place are without the gore of today's murder mysteries. I can speculate who did it, but it is never apparent until the end of the story. A great relaxing read! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cat Who Knew Shakespeare, The - Cat Who Sniffed Glue, The - The Cat Who Played Post Office [Mass Market Paperback] Braun, Lilian Jackson --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/221440-the-cat-who-knew-shakespeare](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/221440-the-cat-who-knew-shakespeare) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
