I was in dire need of a light-hearted book. Having read some of this author's Beaufort Mysteries, I was sure this would offer some relief. I wasn't wrong!
Gobbelino is a talking cat - what, like that's not normal, or something? This book is charmingly written from his POV. He's quite mercenary but ever so charming.
His human, Callum, fortunately has better morals.
Together, they are PIs.
On this, the first of their adventures, they are set on a mission to locate a stolen book. Easy! Well, no. There's a lot more than meets the eye, or whisker.
There's a whole host of marvellous characters.
And a bunch of crazy.
The misadventures crescendo into a frenzy, with laugh out loud moments as well as gasps of 'eek'!
Wonderfully written, we get all the sights and smells of Leeds, and not always as you know it.
The world-building is masterful. The humour delightfully dry and witty. The creatures fantastically outrageous.
A curious, quirky, cosy!
A full 5* from me.
