All seems well in the city on Pinchester, but trouble is brewing at the Varmint Theater. Before he knows it, Hermux is hired not only to investigate a mysterious blackmailer, but to design the set for an upcoming show. As Hermux enters the dizzying world of the theater he finds himself in a whirlwind of distractions—among them an accidental foray into reality theater; trying to fight off flirty film director Brinx Lotelle’s shameless interest in Hermux’s girlfriend, Linka; coping with cosmetic queen Tucka Mertslin’s latest takeover schemes; and learning the mysterious ways of eccentric theater people.
Before long, Hermux is receiving threatening messages, and life at the theater is getting more and more dangerous. It’s up to Hermux to save the day, save the theater, protect his new friends, and get the girl—a lot for one mouse to handle even with a surprisingly talented pet ladybug in tow!

      The redoubtable watchmaker mouse returns in another hilarious social satire. This time Hermux is involved in misadventures surrounding the Varmint Variety Theater, a missing famous actress, and a greedy cosmetics entrepreneur (the infamous Tucka Mertslin--who else?). Added to Hermux's new detective stint is his budding romance with aviatrix Linka Perflinger. How is a mouse to manage? But, of course, he does, and Campbell Scott's straightforward pacing continues to serve this series well. In addition to creating new (and very funny) voices for this third book in the series, Scott's characters from the previous two books are instantly recognizable, particularly the throaty-voiced Tucka. Scott's careful attention to the eccentricities of Hoeye's world makes this a standout for middle school and older listeners. S.G. 2005 YALSA Selection (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

      Gr 4-7 -Michael Hoeye's Mouse watchmaker and detective, Hermux Tantamoq, is back for a third adventure, this time in the world of the theatre (Putnam, 2004). Hermux must solve a blackmail case involving Fluster Varmint, the owner (so everyone believes) of the Varmint Variety Theater. As he works the case, Hermux solves the mystery of the missing Nurella Pinch, foils the devious plans of cosmetics mogul Tucka Mertslin and, most daunting, finds the courage to tell aviatrix and adventuress Linka Perflinger how he truly feels about her. Campbell Scott again narrates, successfully voicing new characters such as the forceful Varmint, the self-important film director, Brinx Lotelle, and the second-rate ventriloquist, Gilden Binter. There are a few minor discrepancies between the book's text and narrated version as a result of having the novel recorded before the book's last minute editing was completed. However, fans who are not following along in the print version will not notice anything amiss. -"Judy Czarnecki, Chippewa River District Library System, Mt. Pleasant, MI"
