However, about halfway through I got interested in the mystery, and after that it was a quick read. Most of my dislike focused on the too-cute outlandish names and the too-detailed narratives of the main character’s daily routine. It’s difficult to write a positive review about a book that had me thinking about stopping through the entire first half. But as sure as corn is sweet and cheese goes mouldy, Hermux must rescue Ms Perflinger and, in the process, must find out just what kind of mouse he really is. What has happened to Ms Perflinger? Who is the mysterious Dr Mennus he keeps hearing about, and how is he connected with Hermux's eccentric neighbor, cosmetics tycoon Tucka Mertslin? Suddenly, Hermux's life is full of twists and turns and things are anything but ordinary. Fearing something is amiss, Hermux follows the rat and soon finds himself in the middle of a dangerous web of deception and intrigue. Instead, a shady-looking rat comes in and demands her watch. Hermux can't wait to see Ms Perflinger again, but she doesn't return. But his quiet life takes a dramatic turn when Ms Linka Perflinger, dashing daredevil, aviatrix and adventuress, bursts into his watch shop, drops off a broken watch and steals his heart. Watchmaker Hermux Tantamoq is a hard-working mouse who is thankful for the ordinary things in life: doughnuts, coffee, peaceful evenings at home with his pet ladybird.
