Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a ghost-horror-detective-time travel-romantic comedy epic.
Dirk Gently is a private detective who isomer interested in telekinesis, quantum mechanics and lunch than fiddling around with fingerprint powder, so his investigations tend to produce startling and unexpected results. A simple search for a missing cat uncovers a bewildered ghost, a secret time-traveler, and the devastating secret that lies behind the whole human history and threatens to bring it to a premature end.
Sadly the cat dies.

The start was rather difficult as I had a hard time understanding the accents of the actors and some of the references weren't known to me. About half way thru I was more comfortable with the accents but now wondering where the plot was going. The rest of the story I enjoyed, as the plot started to untangle and resolve.
This book was such a wild ride I'm still not sure what to think of it. The ending confused me so I looked the references up, and after that I loved it. I've decided I will not only read a Douglas Adams book, because they are such hard reads that don't hook me fast enough. I ended up in a book slump (not reading cause i did in fact keep reading for months, just no the book)
