[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]

Inca was finally going to the Korean Peninsula. She could not contain her excitement when she was asked to accompany her human mother to South Korea. She was determined to have more than a good time there. She was also going with her furry siblings. Inca and her siblings were house pets, but they were not just that. They were also detectives. This trip to South Korea would give them a chance to blow off steam and relax before they would have to go back to fighting crimes and solving problems. Unknown to them, their trip to South Korea will not see them just having a good time. They must choose between saving a stranger from loneliness or minding their business. Which will it be?

R.F. Kristi is one of my favorite authors, focusing on writing about pets. Through her books, I have come to see how brilliant and fabulous house pets can be. I do not believe house pets have a secret life where they solve complex problems, but Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula showed me how wonderful they could be. I know that pets can be empathetic. They also know when people or other animals are in pain. I loved that a book story was written about this very trait of theirs. I am confident that anyone who reads Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula will learn a lot about some of the most popular pets in our society.

Still on the topic of learning things, Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula taught me a healthy deal about South Korea and their dispute with North Korea once upon a time. The lesson above is what I liked most about the book. I was surprised to learn what I had learned about the dispute between these two countries that lasted for a while. I learned about the agreement both countries signed when they decided to split. I learned about the culture and way of life of their people. Apart from learning so much from Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, I was also entertained. The story was not boring. It was interesting and filled with soft humor. I liked Fromage's obsession with cheese and how he reacted whenever he talked about that food. I am glad that R.F. Kristi decided to break the status quo and make the lover of cheese a cat instead of a mouse. It was a sweet thing to read about.

I honestly cannot write any negative thing about Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. I did not dislike anything about it, and I am happy to say that. It was interesting and educational. It was also professionally edited. There is no single negative aspect to this book, and I am proud of R.F. Kristi for ensuring this is the case. All of these made me decide to rate Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula 5 out of 5 stars.

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a book I recommend to fans of R.F. Kristi's works. If you have read any of her books, you can back up my claim that it is so easy to fall in love with her story and characters. If you have not read any of this author's books but you love stories with pets as the protagonists, then I wholeheartedly recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to you. There is no way you can dislike this novel if you give it a shot.

You said,

There is no way you can dislike this novel if you give it a shot.

. I have to give it to you that you are right. I could not dislike anything in Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula because it taught me a lot of things about the people of North and South Korea. I also fell in love with Inca. True, she was arrogant and vain, but she was also friendly, lovely, and selfless.

I love every book in the Cat Detectives series. Inca's diaries are always funny and Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is no different. I think I have read this more than five times already. The first reason is pretty obvious - it is not a long book. The second reason is; it is eye-opening and fun to read. I totally liked everything I saw in it, just like many other people out there will confess.

I cannot criticize Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula in any way. You know why? No? Well, I will tell you why. The reason for this is its perfection. Yes, it had a few errors, but that is nothing. The presentation of the story was golden.

I never knew that there was such a thing called the Korean Peninsula before I read this book. Yes, you may say that that is a shameful thing to admit, but I do not really care much about shame here. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula taught me so much and R.F. Kristi gets the credit for that.

I heard that Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula has a sequel. If that is true, I want to read it. I wonder what other adventures Inca threw herself and her team into. About Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, I was rooting for Baram and the dog to form an intimate bond. I wonder if they ever did.
