The second entry of P.C. Hatter’s Kaiser Wrench series opens with the eponymous tiger detective receiving money for solving a case, and shortly afterward befriending an Arctic fox initially known as Frost, whom a hyena named James Freely, who works for the antediluvian vulpine Lucius Caron-Grant, antagonizes. Frost’s true identity provides a decent drive to read the book from start to finish, with plenty of action and even a bit of romance throughout the story. Granted, the novella like its precursor would have benefitted from a better editor, given some glaring grammar errors and inconsistent names, but otherwise, I’m definitely not hesitant to recommend this short and sweet mystery.
