Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is the eighth edition in the series. In this book, Kristi's fondness for animals and their welfare is evident as she strives to teach children to cherish and respect them. Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of harmonious living between animals and humans. After a triumphant case in Sri Lanka, Inca and her companions return to find that their owner has received an invitation from Le Cordon Bleu to judge an international cooking competition in North and South Korea to promote peace between the two nations. Missy, the owner, intends to present her new cheese in addition to judging. However, upon arriving in Korea, they discover that the bag containing the cheese is missing. As they delve into the mystery of who stole the cheese, they come across other unexpected challenges during their time on the Korean Peninsula.

The book is a captivating read that follows a team of animal detectives as they solve mysteries. I found several aspects of this book to be highly enjoyable. First and foremost, the narrative perspective was quite appealing, as it allowed me to easily follow the plot while getting to know each character in depth. The author has done an excellent job of crafting characters that are easy to empathize with, and the illustrations in the book bring each character to life in vivid detail.

Another noteworthy aspect of this book is how the main character, Inca, uses critical thinking to make sound decisions that ultimately save the day. The importance of teamwork is also highlighted throughout the book, as each member of the Inca Detective Company plays a unique and essential role. Even seemingly small contributions prove pivotal to the team's success, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and cooperation. Additionally, the book's setting on the Korean Peninsula is portrayed realistically, providing readers with a glimpse into the region's culture and geography. Overall, this book offers a captivating storyline and endearing characters that will keep readers engaged from beginning to end.

While the writer demonstrates an admirable writing style and tone, I came across some terminology that might pose a challenge for young readers. I believe that parental assistance may prove helpful in ensuring a complete understanding of these concepts.

The book underwent exceptional editing, leading to a grammatically error-free read. I wholeheartedly give Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R. F. Kristi a 5 out of 5 star rating. The reasons for my rating were the positive aspects mentioned. I recommend it to those who enjoy a blend of children's literature and thrilling novels.
