There is a long tradition of Great Detectives and Dirk Gently does not belong to it. But his search for a missing cat uncovers a ghost, a time-traveller, AND the devastating secret of humankind! (back cover)

Douglas Adams does time travel and ghosts with style!

5 stars

It was a very good book, part of my renewed commitment to reading (the first of that commitment). The book winds around in a lot of different story lines finally (sort of) putting everything together in the end. It is very similar to Douglas Adams usual writing style.

I particularly enjoy the old school mention of Macintosh computers and synthesizers, the technology seems very accurate to the time the book was written (except for the time machine of course).
