![]() ![]() Hermux steps out of his mousy little existence (this is a pun, because he is in fact a mouse) to investigate, and finds himself embroiled in a dastardly plot. His imagination is fired up both by the attractive Linka Perflinger (I told you about the names) and her thrilling adventures, and becomes even more so when Linka fails to return to claim the watch. Hermux Tantamoq is shaken out of his extremely ordinary existence when a dashing aviatrix comes to his watch shop and asks him to fix her watch. It certainly helped that there was a lot more action so there were fewer painfully slow descriptions of Hermux’s meals and clothing. 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. ![]()
