Can the Fondant Investigation Bureau's newest recruit solve the mystery? Will his extensive knowledge of the Jason Bourneville books prove useful? And can he keep his talking cat in check?
India Emerald is known for her award-winning dystopia but likes to throw you the odd curve-ball. Seeing as the real world is inching ever closer to the hellscapes she writes, it's time for some escapism and a funny or two.

If I had seven stars to give I would.
It’s the sheer imagination that gets me.

Enjoyable and fun.
The title of this wicked little book is the first indication that it's not all going to be about sweetness and innocence. In fact, it's a romp full of magic, mystery and mayhem through the land of Charmnia, where some very bad business has been cooked up.
This story is a lot of fun, infused wtih good humour and plenty of action, and populated by a varied cast of characters, some of whom are more tasteful than others. As Marvelo discovers, it's hard to know who to trust in a land where everything is sugar-coated, but he's determined to find the answers he needs.
This was an enjoyable short read at the end of a busy day, and it made me laugh.

I can honestly say I've never read anything like this. I'm most impressed with how much detail about the world of Charmnia was put into such a short work.
