Synopsis

Hermux Tantamoq – watchmaker, cheese connoisseur and detective extraordinaire – is finally getting married to delectable daredevil Linka Perflinger. But sinister things are afoot in Thorny End: a body washes up on shore, a strange new breed of killer bees is on the loose and someone is up to no good in the lab on Jeckel Island. Hermux must find the missing link. And this time, it's personal . . .

A comedy thriller with a twist – readers will be hooked from the very first page.

About this title

Review:

This is a whisker-filled Indiana Jones-style page turner with hero Hermux proving once more that he's the mouse with nouse! (Sunday Times)

Highly original . . . Think Niles Crane as a talking mouse in a Hitchcock script and you'll be about right (Tony Bradman Daily Telegraph)

Watch out, Stuart Little, you have a literary rival . . . This pleasurably anthropomorphic story has bags of charm [and] a zesty plot (Guardian)

A chic, distinctive, offbeat thriller (Observer)
