My review of Book One was less than stellar. I stand by the central point that this series is basically fluff. No, it’s actual fluff. But, in the paraphrased words of the eponymous hero, “G*dd*amnit, Dinniman,” you’ve won me over.
As usual, the audio performance is off the charts. It’s truly amazing how many good actors there are for audiobooks. Every time I think, “How could it get any better?” along comes a voice actor who reaches new heights.
I begrudgingly recommend this book. Not because it isn’t worthy of actual recommendations, but because it’s so silly that it’s actually fun. You won’t find heady similes or hifalutin verbiage or iambic pentameter herein, but if you can’t smile at the idea of a Persian cat’s intrinsic narcissism evolving into genuine empathy and love for her gruff partner, then there may be no hope left for you.
Read the damned book.
