That was quite fun to read with a speaking cat being a PI and a lost magical book that everyone covets.

This was a quick, easy, fun read! A talking, black cat along with his human are PI solving problems relating to the fantasy world. Couldn't get any better —except for Poe , of course.

I also must thank Sarah for the rec and her undeniably good tastes in books.

The book is uneven. When the author gets into his stride she’s got quite a good turn of phrase as she describes Lovecraftian nightmares and problems with reality. Where she stutters is with the interaction between the main characters who are never really fleshed out.
The dialogue is clunky at times and some of the action felt like it had been transcribed from a D&D session where the GM had been winging it.
She also can’t decide whether she’s writing a bit of English whimsy with quirky types or a gumshoe noir and ends up falling between the two stools.
