Garrett-The Cat Who Moved A Mountain

So far in the book I'm reading, Jim Qwilleran (the main character) and his two siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, have been traveling to The Potato Mountains to an old Inn that's now a house. Qwill is renting it for three months, but when he got there it was very gloomy. The rooms' wallpaper was gray and the outside was a gray-green. When he walked in he also found many paintings, kitchen-ware, and fireplace equipment was gone. So after his first night he decided to go to Spudsboro, the town in the valley of the Potatoes. Qwill went to an art show to by some things to try and spruce up the old gray house. The house was also the place where the original owner was killed. So Qwill tries to figure it out by lying and saying he is writing a biography of J. J. Hawkenfield (the guy who got murdered. After a while Koko keeps tilting a picture of the Potato Mountains that Mr. Beechum painted for J. J. and after enough times Qwill finds a big iron key and kept it in and old wooden hunt board. Later Qwill finds that behind the hunt board that there is a door. So, he moves it and finds that J. J. had a secret office but a lot of things have been taken out. However, he finds a pad that J. J. kept notes on. A day later Qwill decides to go and see the big waterfall behind Amy's Lunch Bucket and when he got up to the top he leaned over too far to look at something and fell in the river before the fall and before he knew it he was dangling from the ledge and couldn't get back up. After a while he finally got back up, but his knee was hurting real bad, luckily some people from Amy's lunch bucket found him and took him back and then drove him back up to Tiptop (the inn). The next day Sherry Hawkenfield arrived at the airport and went to Tiptop to talk to Qwill. When she got there she and her friend John Lumpton talked to Qwill for a while. Then Qwil started hearing scratching noises and found it was Koko, trying to get a ball of red hair underneath the hunt board. Qwill got it out for him and realized everything. John Lumpton was J.J.'s murderer. So he took it back in to the living room and before h knew it John came at him with a Queen Anne chair but Qwill wrestled him to the floor with a candlestick holder. It was all over in a matter of one night and after he phoned the police he left the next morning saying, "Whe did I ever come to the potatoes?"
