This is the second book in Lillian Jackson Braun's mystery series starring journalist Jim Qwilleran and his enigmatic Siamese cat, Koko.  Qwilleran has just been assigned to write a new weekly magazine for The Daily Fluxion called Gracious Abodes, a magazine that focuses on interior decorating.  Not exactly thrilled with his new assignment, Qwilleran goes with it and dives deep into the world of interior decorating.  However, the day after the first issue is published, the house that was featured is robbed and the wife of the owner dies of a heart attack.  Suspicious, Qwilleran investigates and is not surprised to find that his clever cat, Koko, is right there to help him find several key clues.  George Guidall does an excellent job narrating the book and his attempts at female characters are entertaining and amusing.  A bit slow at times, readers can't help but sit and listen in order to find out the answer to the big question: whodunit?
