The leader of her detective agency, Inca and Company, is Inca. They have a reputation for resolving murders and riddles in their own animal manner. Inca, a Siberian cat, her brother Fromage, her sister Cara, Terrance, a detective dog owned by a humanoid named Solo, and Charlotte, a hamster, to name a few, constitute the group. Missy is the human mother of Inca, Fromage, Cara, and Charlotte.

In Sri Lanka, where they recovered some stolen goods and assisted Detective Solo in solving a case, Inca and her crew have just arrived. Chef Missy received the wonderful news that she had been selected to serve as one of the judges for the French patisserie competition. Le Cordon Bleu, a French cooking institute, is responsible for organizing the competition, which will take place in South Korea. Missy is also making use of the occasion to launch La Crème de la Crème, her newest specialty cheese. Follow Inca and her team as they unravel additional mysteries as you read.

Author R.F. Kristi is the author of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula. Although it is the second book in the The Inca Cat Detective Series, you can read it on its own. I adore this story's simplicity. The lines were written in little paragraphs, the font is quirky yet clear, and there are lovely and engaging photographs. With a few exceptions, the grammar is straightforward enough for kids to grasp without needing a dictionary, like the phrase "bon voyage." I was initially drawn to this fairy tale because of its lovely book cover, and I found it to be extremely engaging.

I adore the camaraderie and understanding between Inca and her team, especially when they were attempting to enter the North Korean sleeping quarters. Everyone completed their work in a tidy manner. The author's use of human speech in the description of the dialogue between these animals made me laugh. This helped me realize that maybe animals truly do communicate with one another in the same manner that people do. This book only had 119 pages, but I really liked reading it.

This short story doesn't bother me in the least. It was interesting, and I'd love to recommend it to kids aged 9 and up. They will be able to comprehend the majority of what is said, especially the conflict and resolution between South and North Korea. Children younger than that age may require adult supervision. I give this book a score of 5 out of 5 stars. While reading, I discovered no mistakes. It was therefore expertly edited.

"Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi tells the story of the cat family who double as chefs and detectives. I love their adventure to North Korea.

No effort is little when people work together as a team. Working together as a team brings out the best in people, at times people discover their purpose through duties given to them. And a team must have a good leader to be effective. Great review

I've read so much about this book, Cat Detectives. Whaat intrigues me is the role the animals play in the book. It takes a lot of creative work for the author to write a book like this. Great review.
