The things you never knew, the things you thought you knew, but turns out you may have been wrong - or not, and things that seem most improbable.
Consider for instance, Michael Hume, Dominic Cummings and The Blob. Sci-fi in the Conservative government...
Fascinating book by an author fascinated by his subject matter. With many links to abstruse and yet relevant subject matter that only this author would have discovered,
If you like deep dives into mysteries of the natural world and sciences, then this book is for you.

Illuminating..
A casebook of mysteries from the world of nature as the author turns sleuth to discover the basis of some rather seemingly unnatural events. As he begins to unravel these mysteries and myths he takes the reader on a journey around the United Kingdom in search of answers. An enjoyable and interesting foray, the author is both engaging and entertaining- never dry - and an extremely illuminating read.

Some non fiction books about natural mysteries are as gripping as the best whodunit. This one of them.
Bob Gilbert delivers six fascinating mystery and I loved what I read
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

The Missing Musk is a collection of different mysteries from the natural world that have piqued Bob Gilbert's interest enough for him to investigate and research what really happened. He's not a biologist, but an enthusiastic amateur with a wide ranging network of interesting friends and his findings are often fascinating and very readable.

An enjoyable read from an author who would probably be a brilliant raconteur at a dinner party. Recommended.

This book is a series of essays on mysteries found in the natural world. It could be a very dry book, however Bob Gilbert is an accomplished raconteur. The solutions of each mystery could be covered by a couple of pages, but in this book you are taken on a journey with each tale. The journeys are interesting and entertaining. The story of the missing musk, like all good mysteries is told with a few red herrings, an unexplained death, and of course a twist in the tale at the end. I would call this book a collection of scientific shaggy dog stories which would definitely entertain.
