The Postman Always Brings Mice
The Stink
Files: Dossier 001
By Holm & Hamel
James
Edward Bristlefur was once the companion and partner of the top
spy to ever work for “MI9,” but when Sir Archibald Ash
is poisoned by a biscuit (“cookie” in American terms)
after successfully saving the Queen of England from being kidnapped
by terrorists, Bristlefur’s luck takes a turn for the worst.
After being put into a dazy sleep during a flight to his human’s
secretary’s sister in Norway, Bristlefur wakes to find that
he has landed not in Norway, but in NEW JERSEY! Now this refined
feline is forced to get down and dirty (literally) as he struggles
to figure out what happened with his plans to go to Norway and revenge
his beloved Archibald’s death, and who is trying to sabotage
his efforts to get back to the life he once knew and away from the
sticky-fingered little girl, the work-oriented mother, strange pet-shop
owner father, and recluse of a boy that he’s been stuck with.
The Postman
Always Brings Mice is a hilarious story of a British-born,
British-bred feline spy stuck in the middle of the suburban hell
known as Woodland Park, New Jersey. Bristlefur, otherwise known
as “Mr. Stink” for reasons that I’d rather not
reveal out of sheer delight and wickedness, is a proud and multi-talented
Bengal who prides himself on the knowledge he gained from the many
years of being a spy. His wry wit and savvy humor will have you
rolling in laughter the entire way through. There was no way anyone
was going to get this book out of my hands once I started it. Bristlefur
and his motley crew will have you in their paws until you force
yourself to turn the last page and shut the book. I definitely recommend
this book for anyone who is a fan of the type of humor I can only
compare to as being a plotline worthy of the movie “Cats &
Dogs.”
