A little slow at the beginning, but a great read. It's not a spoiler to say that the narrator is from the perspective of Gobbelino the cat who is half of the PI team of Gobs & Callum (a human). When a client comes in looking to get her book back from her ex husband, they have no idea what they're in for! Great characters and the action really picks up.

I really enjoyed this light, fun fantasy mystery. Gobbelino is a perfect cat narrator - such a great voice! I listened to the audiobook, and the audiobook narrator also did a great job.

Leeds, UK & Gobbelino London (feline PI) & his human sidekick, Callum, are hired by a mysterious client to find a missing book that belongs to her. Gobbelino is a little apprehensive as there is something about the woman that is off but he can't quite put his paw on what. As the hunt begins, it soon becomes clear that Gobbelino's sixth sense was right & this is much more than just a missing book.

I loved this. What a change from the usual morose human detectives, instead we have a snarky feline & his human sidekick. Gobbelino is instantly lovable even though he is unfailingly sarcastic & a bit of a curmudgeon - although he's quick to act the innocent kitty if needs be! Believe me, if you have ever owned a cat, you will recognise your feline friend here. I actually laughed out loud in several places. I am definitely going to read the rest of the series.
