Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a book by R. F Kristi. It introduces us to Inca, a Siberian detective cat who heads a detective company. Inca then introduces us to his detective team, Inca & Company. We learn about a new painting that just arrived. It was a painting of a Siberian tiger. Solo, the owner of their cottage's mansion, had ordered it.

Soon after that, their human mum announces that she has been selected to be one of the judges of the French patisserie competition to be held in South Korea. This meant that the kitties and Charlotte would be going with her. On the 12th of April, they were on their way to South Korea. They met Enzo, a French chef who was always in competition with their human mom. Before long, they were in South Korea. They were still settling in and enjoying the beautiful view of the country when their human mom discovered that the precious cheese she had brought for the presentation was missing. Who took the cheese? What would the cat detectives do? Who would save the day?

There are so many things to like about this book. At the beginning of the book, the author includes an illustration. This is an introduction to the characters of Inca, Cara, Fromage, Charlotte, Mom, and Aunt Florence. For the audience it is targeted at, this would help them visualize these characters. Also, the manner the persona, Inca, narrates the book gives it a lovely feeling. It felt like I could hear Inca talking to me.

The best thing I liked about this book would be the description of the characters and their behaviors. The author went into the details. I enjoyed the way Inca described their human mum as “the energetic young humanoid that we jointly own.” The author also tried to add special cat effects to words. For instance, Inca described itself as “Purrrfect.” Finally, this book was exceptionally well edited. I did not spot any errors while reading it.

I would say that my least favorite thing about the book was that it was predictable. Although intended for a younger audience, this book would have been better if the readers could not easily predict events. Right from the plane, I could predict that the cheese would be stolen. Nevertheless, this did not take away so much from the book.

I rate this book four out of four stars. Although I could predict some events in the book, I don't think it will be enough not to give this book the rating it deserves. This is a brilliant masterpiece, and I would love to read more books from Kristi.

I recommend this book to children. It is a children's book and would be best suited for readers between four to thirteen years old. It is a quick read, and they will have a fantastic time reading it.

I believe you are right about the negative aspect, but perhaps children won't think much about it. Otherwise, the book is a wonderful read for children. Thank you for such a wonderful review.

I have read this book and I loved it. It's a children book but quite informative and an adult would find it an interesting read, especially if the adult loves to teach children. Thank you for the great review.

Since this is a children's book and I don't have children, I would probably not get to read it. However, the book appears to be a nice fit for kids and I will recommend it to parents.

I have read a book by this same author before, so I don't expect anything less from this one. The way they always solve the mysteries and find the culprits would always be a beautiful thing for children.
