The Lunar Cats by Lynne TrussMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have no words to describe this book.
Imagine, if you can, a world in which a mild-mannered English librarian gets tangled up with Evil Talking Cats, not once but twice!
Our 'hero' Alec Charlesworth is contacted by a mysterious Greek client who asks him to research whether there were cats on His Majesty's Ship Endeavour which sailed around the world with Captain Cook. His investigations lead him to a sinister Evil Talking Kitten and her minions, a secret society of long-lived scientific cats and a strange bout of mouthey-mouthey-itis (you have to read it).
Told through a combination of meeting minutes, first person narrative by Alec, dairy entries and newspaper articles, watch as Alec and his tattered crew of comrades attempt to defeat the Evil Talking Kitten's plots.
I liked this, it had the odd humour of Terry Pratchett or Tom Sharpe but with a slightly more literary bent. I just didn't love it.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
