No 2 Feline Detective Agency by Mandy Morton

colorfulleo92's review against another edition

4.0

I didn't know what kind of read this would he and at first I was a little worried that all characters were cats and no humans in sight! But I quickly got engaged and this was a successful mystery and the end even managed to shock me a bit. I got the next book in the series borrowed from the library as well so hopefully will get it soon before I have to return it.

This was such a fun read. I just heard a film noir monologue in my head as I read the narration…but with cat detectives.

nah. this book has some disgusting stereotypes. jamaicans can’t speak fluent english. asians eat cats. g*psies are all violent. then you have all the fat shaming. nope.

give it a pass.

also doesn’t help that the author wrote the most bizarre scenes. and the ending seemed to be recycled, constantly someones gets attacked, again and again. nope. not good.

Awful!

made it a little over half way, but this book turned out to be racist, misogynistic and somewhat antisemitic. Do not recommend

Review - This was a great book to read during lockdown, it was lovely and light and funny. There were some great plays on words with things related to cats. The characters were all likeable and the book made me giggle throughout. If you're looking for something serious, even cosy crime that's a bit more serious then this isn't for you, but if you want something really light and funny to get you through a difficult patch then this is the book for you!

Characters? - Hettie Bagshot / Tilly Jenkins / Nurse Mogadon / Poppa / Oralia Claw / Betty Butter / Jessie / Mr Malkin / Mr Sprinkle

Setting? - England

I liked it, but it is definitely more of a "casual rainy/beach day" style read. It was amusing to imagine a society where cats are existing in place of humans. I got through it quickly and I liked the characters. Would probably read more in the series. I did not like the final few chapters, personally. Too much happening too fast for a slow paced book of 300 pages.
