The protagonist of this tale, Inca, is a Siberian cat that serves both as the leader of her detective squad, Inca and Company, and the main character in the story. Inca is a cat detective who works with her squad, which includes Fromage, her brother, Cara, and Terrance, a dog that belongs to Solo, a human investigator, to name a few.

Missy, the mother of these creatures who is also a human, has just been invited to serve as one of the judges for the French pastry competition in South Korea. Missy will take advantage of this chance to debut her brand-new cheese around the globe. Inca, Missy, Solo, and the rest of her crew are getting ready to leave. At the airport, the crew solved a crime. Read this account of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula to learn the problems they were able to address.

I adore the author's writing style. It is easy to use, interesting, and exciting. Even though this is written for kids, it nevertheless has a context appropriate for reading by adults. According to her bio, R.F. Kristi is a fervent animal lover. I'll add that it's clear from the way she writes. She does a good job of accurately capturing how each animal behaves, especially cats. I am aware that various cats have varied behavioral tendencies; here, Inca acts like the boss while Cara is the beauty queen.

I really admire the camaraderie these animals exhibit. I had no idea that dogs and cats could get along so well. It surprised me to discover that they were related because I always assumed they were at odds. It's funny how they act toward their human mother like actual kids. They took such great care of her. They obviously adore her because of how evident it is.

Nothing about this storybook disturbs me. Any child's attention will be quickly captured by the interesting images. It receives a score of 5 out of 5 stars. In the same way, I didn't spot any mistakes in the book. It's exceptionally edited.

This is something I'd recommend for kids aged nine and up. They will have no trouble understanding the context. Any adult who wants to pass the time with something entertaining can learn this. It's a quick but engaging read.

When I read this book, all I admired was Inca's trouble solving nature and team spirit. Children stand to learn a lot from that. Beautiful review.

This is one of the children's books I love so much. The teamwork, and love shared between them are captivating. Above all my favorite character is Inca, her personality in the book was well developed. Good job.

This is a good book for kids to read. I like the concept and the coded message it is delivering; that the pets we have at home are also intelligent and they are always cute. I like the strong personality of Inca, as portrayed in the book.
