It was fun for me to see "how it all began", or how Qwilleran met Koko. :)

From the back of the book: "The world of modern art is a mystery to many. But for Jim Qwilleran it turns into a mystery of another sort when his assignment to cover the art beat for the 'Daily Fluxion' leads down the path to murder. A stabbing in an art gallery, vandalized paintings, a gatal fall from a scaffolding - this is not at all what Qwilleran expects when he turns his reportorial talents to art. But now Qwilleran and his newly found partner, Koko the brilliant Siamese, are back in their element - sniffing out clues and confounding criminals intent on mayhem and murder."

Journal Entry 2 by scotiae from St. Louis, Missouri USA on Sunday, October 08, 2006

I caught the book on the steps of the historic Compton Heights Water Tower in St. Louis, Missouri.

CAUGHT IN ST. LOUIS MISSOURI U.S.A

Released 5 yrs ago (10/8/2006 UTC) at Compton Heights Reservoir Park at 44 & Grand in St. Louis, Missouri USA

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

RELEASE NOTES:

A few times a year they open the old water tower so you can go up all 198 stairs to the lookout deck at the top. It was open for such a tour this weekend, and as I've always wanted to go up - we did! My parents, myself, and my husband, with our almost 9-month-old son on his back in his backpack carrier. All it all it was fun! I left the book on the steps outside the tower, just before the entrance - and then to my surprise, before I journalled the book as "released" it had already been journalled as "caught"! :)
