It's not quite time for the great food Explo yet but we sure do get a lot of cheese talk in this section (which we're not mad about)! Join us for section two of The Cat Who Said Cheese, as we sort through Qwilleran's errands and mine for clues. Who planted a bomb in the run down Pickax Hotel? Does Koko's reaction to the new banker in town mean she's a suspect? Will Qwilleran ever get over himself and learn to cook? Outlook not so good on that last one...
