Inca is a Siberian kitty, and she owns a successful detective agency in London. The agency is made up of her siblings and friends. She and her team make a tour of Korea with their human family. While in Korea, they try to reunite Ye-Jun, their Korean guide, with his estranged sister Ji. Inca's mother has just discovered a new type of delicious cheese, which she will be presenting at a cooking competition. However, their mother's rival, Enzo, has plans to steal the cheese. Can they save the cheese from being stolen by Enzo? And will they reunite the family? Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is the eighth book in R.F. Kristi's Inca Cat Detective Series. Readers will follow Inca and her friends on a fun-filled adventure to South Korea.

The book is filled with beautiful illustrations and great typography. And this book will be a great pick for young children. It is short, with very simple words that make it easy to understand. The plot is simple yet engaging, with lots of fun. Even the villain in the story is rather hilarious to me. I'm surprised that in a book where most of the characters are not humans, Kristi does an excellent job adding relatable behavioral traits to each character, making them realistic. The story flows effortlessly to avoid confusion, especially for younger readers. The book provides snippets of Korean history and includes detailed descriptions of historically significant places. It mentions the division between South and North Korea and shows how the citizens are affected by it. I found the story valuable as a way of teaching the younger generation the importance of unity. I also love the way the book was exceptionally well-edited.

I did not find anything negative in the book. However, I was surprised by how suddenly some of the scenes ended. It felt like everything was happening quickly. Although I understand it was in a bid to make the book short and not prolong the story.

Overall, it was a fantastic book. I enjoy reading cat stories, so I liked this one. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I'm giving it a perfect rating because I loved the entire story and found nothing to complain about. I'm looking forward to reading more books from Kristi.

It's an interesting book, and I would recommend this to children aged 8 to 12 years. However, I am confident that adults who like reading children's adventure stories will also enjoy this book.
