Summary
The mountains are a haven for the independent, roughneck descendants of Prohibition-era moon-shiners. The valley is home to developers eager to turn the pristine Potatoes into a giant tourist trap. To make matters more complicated, a Tater, as the mountain folk are called, has been convicted of the murder of millionaire developer J.J. Hawkinfield. Some people swear the wrong man was convicted, and Qwill is inclined to agree when he hears what transpired before the trial.
But if Forest Beechum didn't do the dirty deed, who did? With Qwill, Koko, and Yum Yum on the case, the killer won't get away with murder.

Great Narrator
As always, a very good reading of a comfortable kind of book to read no matter what the weather. The only issue I have is with the stops and starts that occur suddenly after certain sentences. This doesn't seem to be when the scene or conversation changes, but randomly after a sentence. It's as if the narrator is taking a breath, and instead of cutting it out to keep it flowing, it was kept in. This is the first one in the series, from the beginning, that I've found this issue though it appears that it might have carried through on 'The Cat Who Went Into The Closet'; which is what I'm listening to now.
Otherwise, a brilliant read and would highly recommend

Disappointing
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I have listened to several books in this series and enjoyed them tremendously so had high hopes for this one. The story starts off well slowly unwinds to a quite unbelievable ending - it felt like a filler-book, one to fill in between other, better ones. I would not recommend it.
What could Lilian Jackson Braun have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Resolved some of the issues that are brought into the story - too many loose ends.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Visiting the shop enroute to the mountains - the description of the interior was amazing and the conversation between the 2 men sooo funny, I laughed out loud.
Could you see The Cat Who Moved a Mountain being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Not unless you brought in some more answers along the way. You would need a good, mature actor for the main role, one with a dry sense of humour - a low-key character. As for the cats ...
Any additional comments?
I desperately wanted to like this book - there were some really good story lines but they just fizzled out. Far too much time spent on interior decor!

Utterly charming
Charming, funny and gentle, the Cat Who books never fail to entertain. George Guidall's narration is perfect for the books, soft and smoothing as a warm bath on a cold night.
There were a couple on minor glitches in the editing around chapter 16 but not significant enough to spoil the story.

Whimsical escapism!
I enjoy these low key stories and have either read or listened to most of them. George Guidall is the best possible choice as narrator but he should have had more help from the sound editor on this one. There are bizarre silences, when you think your kit has switched off, only to find he starts to speak again. There is also an instance of him trying three different takes on a sentence, which has been left in. He's very professional and deserves better than this from the technical team.
The story is flimsy and not one of the best; plenty of unanswered questions. Who is stalking Polly in Pickax? What happens to the real murderer in the Potatoes? What happens to the flooded community ? Did I fall asleep and miss all this stuff??

One of the best 'The Cat Who' listens
I love the way George Guidall reads these books. He could BE Qwillerin, complete with bushy moustache. Lillian Jackson Braun delicately conveys the tongue-in-cheek relationship between 'master' and cat particularly well in this book. Excellent marrying of author, reader and subject.
