Inca, the super-duper Siberian cat detective, leads her team of animal detectives to solving another mystery case. As usual, Inca & Company work together in solving detective mysteries. What mystery case are they going to solve this time?

R.F. Kristi, being a lover of animals, wrote this book intending to promote love and respect for animals among children. In Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, which is book eight of the Inca Cat series, R.F. Kristi teaches kids vital moral lessons with creative illustrations.

Missy, the humanoid mom of the animal detectives, has been chosen as one of the judges at the French patisserie competition, which is organized by ‘Le Cordon Bleu’. The competition would be hosted in South Korea. This is also a big opportunity for Missy to introduce her special cheese, La Crème de la Crème, to the world. Will Missy’s plan succeed?

Missy travels with her animal detectives to South Korea. At the airport, she meets a friend and fellow chef, Enzo. Enzo looks suspicious. I don’t trust his intentions, neither do the animal detectives. Could we be wrong about Enzo? Maybe that is just how he looks. I guess we would have to join Inca & Company to protect Missy from any mischief.

The book was written from Inca’s perspective, which makes the reader feel like the leader of the detectives. What I liked most was the humorous way Inca described Enzo, which made him look very funny. I also like how detail-direct the book was with illustrative pictures on almost every page. Despite being book eight of the Inca Cat series, this book can also be read as a standalone book. There was nothing I disliked, and there were no negatives.

The writing style was descriptive and narrative. The book was professionally edited. I didn’t notice any errors. The pace was well-developed. The suspense was moderate and the tale was very engaging. Reading the book with children makes it more fun. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for its exceptional presentation. I strongly recommend this book to children, parents/guardians with kids, and teachers of children.

There are several moral lessons to learn from Inca & Company’s adventure. Kids would learn to work together with others, always be alert, help and care for those in trouble, love and respect for animals, and so on. Even though this is a children’s book, I think adults would like this book as well.

The meaningful lessons in this book are very important for children to learn and we, as adults, would do well to keep them in mind. I think kids will love to feel like they're leading the investigation. It seems like a great series!
Thanks!
