Inca, the Siberian cat, is the head of Inca and Company, a detective agency that has been involved in solving investigative mysteries. There’s a cooking competition between North and South Korean chefs, and their human mom, Missy, has been invited to be the judge. While at it, she’ll be showcasing her new cheese. Inca and her detective team accompany mom to Korea. There’s a sudden turn of events as Missy’s cheese is stolen at the airport.

Being a snoopy cat, Inca and her detective team strive at not only repossessing Missy’s cheese but also revealing the miscreant. The book is stacked with delight and thrills. There’s a wide range of animals included; hamster, a Siberian tiger, a Russian cat, a detective dog. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a page-turner!

I appreciated almost every aspect of this book. The font style will capture a child’s attention and keep him/her glued until the end. I often found myself smiling at the pictures included. The painting of the Siberian tiger was picturesque. Also, being the eighth book in its series, Kristi included a flashback of events that happened in its prequel. As such, a reader can smoothly follow the tale.

Le Cordon Bleu’s cooking competition was aimed at promoting peace between North and South Korea. Children will not only devour this book for fun but also learn the importance of peace in their daily happenings. The illustrations of the surroundings were worth noting. The expressive details of cherry trees, for instance, made me smell the rich scent of fruits. The bold Siberian tiger transported me to the zoo.

I only found one error; consequently, the book is well edited. Readers who fancy reading books packed with animals will enjoy this installment. Having detected nothing to dislike, I rate it four out of four stars. I recommend it to children between the ages of 5 to 13 years.
