R.F. Kristi is the author of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, and it is in the genre of children's books. Inca is the name of a cat; she is the head of a detective team called Inca and Company. Inca and the other detectives move to Korea with their humanoid mother. Their mother is a good cook, and she prepares a delicious cheese to contest in a cooking competition that is organized by Cordon Bleu Cookery. Cordon Bleu Cookery is a French cookery school that teaches students how to prepare delicious diets. The competition is between the South and the North Korean chefs. Inca's humanoid mother is also a judge in the contest.

The cats were brilliant in carrying out their detective tasks. The author did extensive work by including the dogs that helped Inca and the other members to accomplish their duties. I was thrilled by the way the pets loved each other, including spreading their love to the dogs assisting them. Their relationship was strong enough to prevent any misunderstanding that might cause chaos in their plans.

Jorge Valle also provided clear illustrations that attracted my attention throughout the book. The images helped me to become familiar with each of the members of the detective team. So the characters and their tasks were easy for me to read and comprehend.

Inca was one of the characters who made me laugh at some point in the narrative. There were some scenes children would love a lot because there were some words used that will make any reader to laugh.

What I disliked most was the way the text was formatted. I could not highlight a word or sentence that was funny or noteworthy to me. The book would have been exceptional for me to follow if I could take notes of some of the unique words.

I, therefore, rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. Giving the work three stars would be unnecessary because I enjoyed reading the work in no time. Melanie Lopata did excellent editing of the book. There was no grammatical error that I noticed. Children would find the work educative, as Inca and the other members take their detective duties. People who do not like pets should not grab a copy, as the cats live with their humanoid parents.
