Tourquai is a classic murder mystery except that the story takes place in a town of stuffed animals. Moving, breathing, eating and loving stuffed animals. Yes, they are just like people but not quite. For instance, although the victim, Oswald Vulture,’s head was chopped off, he’s dead and he isn’t. If his head can be found back, it may be sewn on again and then he will be as alive as ever!
But Vulture is leaving behind a lot of money and that’s good news for a number of people, all of which are c...more

I confess...I didn't know what to expect when I opened Tourquai: A Novel by Tim Davys. I knew it was a detective-type mystery and that it was the author's third in a series of four books.

In Tourquai, Oswald Vulture has his head cut-off and the police, namely superintendent Larry Bloodhound, is determined to find out who did it.

Besides looking for the culprit, Bloodhound is also really intent on finding the head. Because if he can do that, it can be reattached and he can discover once and for all what happened. Reattached? Yep. Did...more
I put this down because I had zero desire to read it once I started. It was distracting to read about stuffed animals that cussed and committed crimes.
