Gone are the days of Lilian Jackson Braun’s seamless storytelling in her “Cat Who” series, not to mention a real mystery.
Sure, “The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers” (190 pages, Putnam, $23.95) — the 29th novel in the series — has arson, theft and murder.  But all play 29th fiddle to Braun’s Moose County anecdotes.
And that’s OK.  After all, Braun turned 90 last year, the world she created is still charming, and readers will be eager to learn how their favorite denizens of Pickax and environs are faring.
Just don’t expect a brain-teaser. But expect a major development in Jim Qwilleran and Polly Duncan’s relationship.
