About this ebook

When kaspar the cat first arrived at London’s Savoy Hotel, it was Johnny Trott who carried him in. After all, Johnny was a bellboy and was responsible for all of Countess Kandinsky’s things— including Kaspar. But when tragedy befalls the Countess during her stay, Kaspar becomes more than Johnny’s responsibility: Kaspar is Johnny’s new cat, and his new best friend.

And when Kaspar and Johnny meet Lizziebeth, a spirited young heiress, they find themselves journeying across the Atlantic with Lizziebeth’s family on England’s newest and most magnificent ship, the Titanic. Because there is always adventure in the air with a cat like Kaspar around. After all, he’s Kaspar Kandinsky, Prince of Cats, a Londoner and a New Yorker and, as far as anyone knows, the only cat to survive the sinking of the Titanic. . . .

Not only is she the housekeeper who keeps life at home smooth running, she is also the one who seems to guide the Inspector in solving the mysteries that come his way.In this book, the Inspector has put the household on a tight budget. To keep in line with this new ruling, Cook has dusted off an old cookbook with recipes that are as tasty as the dust but very economical. Not only is the Inspector suffering through these frugal meals, he is also working through a new murder of a business man who has a long list of possible suspects. Seems this business man has cheated his investors our of a nice chunk of money. The Inspector is trying to focus on finding clues and interviewing witnesses, while trying to ignore hunger pains from his diet at home.Behind the scenes, Mrs. Jeffries has organized the household staff into its' efficient sleuthing team mode. Cook may be feeding pauper meals to the Inspector, but she still is sure to have tea and sweet buns for when other household staff members drop by to chat in the kitchen. Meanwhile Wiggins, Betsy and Smythe utilize their network of other household staffs for information; uncovering some unsavoury secrets that point to who the guilty party is and why.This is a cozy series set in Victorian times and is a fun and fast read.

    Reason for Reading: I've read and enjoyed the author before plus I am a Titanic fan.This is an entirely fictional story about three things, two of them rooted in actual fact. First and foremost it is the story of fourteen year old Johnny Trott, orphan, currently working as bell boy at the Savoy Hotel, secondly it is a story of how the famous sculpture of the Savoy Hotel cat may have come to be and thirdly, it is an account of the sinking of the Titanic.An important guest at the hotel befriends Johnny and instructs him to watch over her cat, Kaspar, while she is away from her rooms. Misfortune befalls her and Johnny keeps the cat as his own. Then another family comes to stay and he befriends the impish daughter of a wealthy couple. Here we deal with different types of friendship and love that Johnny has never experienced in his life before and this is the basic theme of the book. To add some adventure, the family is fated to sail home to New York on the "unsinkable" ship, the Titanic. Both Johnny and Kaspar end up on board but I won't tell you how or why but this eventually leads to the sculpture of the Kaspar cat being presented to the Savoy.A fun story that will appeal to both boys and girls. It is an easy-going book with the first half dedicated to Johnny and his relationships, much more character driven than anything else. I enjoyed this half the best. The second half picks up the pace and adds escapades and finally an account of the Titanic's sinking that is quite realistic. The author ends with a Post Script telling the reader how, as a writer, he pulled the real elements from life and created his fictional story from them.Final word on the illustrations, Michael Foreman is a prolific illustrator and one of the best England has to offer. This book is no exception; it is profusely illustrated, in colour, and it was a delight to read a chapter book in colour for a change.
