"The Guinea PIG, Pet Shop Private Eye series continues to entertain, with cute animals, witty dialogue, and a solid mystery." --Booklist
"The mystery, while uncomplicated and dotted with humorous moments, still allows for some basic deductive reasoning as readers search for the culprit.... Kids who have a thing for pets (which is a sizable group) and a hankering for humor will likely take to this title." --School Library Journal
"Yue's adorable, expressive cartoon creatures ably extend Venable's humor.... A winning graphic story all around." --Kirkus Reviews
