About this product

Product Information

The Gingerbreadman - psychopath, sadist, convicted murderer and cake/biscuit - is loose on the streets of Reading. It isn't Jack Spratt's case. Despite the success of the Humpty Dumpty investigation, the well publicised failure to prevent Red Riding-Hood and her Gran being eaten once again plunges the Nursery Crime Division into controversy. Enforced non-involvement with the Gingerbreadman hunt looks to be frustrating until a chance encounter at the oddly familiar Deja-Vu Club leads them onto the hunt for missing journalist Henrietta 'Goldy' Hatchett, star reporter for The Daily Toad. The last witnesses to see her alive were The Three Bears, comfortably living out a life of rural solitude in Andersen's wood. But all is not what it seems. Are the unexplained explosions around the globe somehow related to missing nuclear scientist Angus McGuffin Is cucumber-growing really that dangerous Why are National Security involved But most important of all: How could the bears' porridge be at such disparate temperatures when they were poured at the same time

  • Clever, funny and extremely well written - the very definition of a page turner! Thanks Mr. Fforde

    Having read the Ayre Affair many moons ago and subsequently gone on to complete the "Thursday Next" series I was overjoyed to find there was another series to get stuck into from such a talented author. This is the second book in the "Nursery Crimes" series and I certainly hope the promise of another will eventually come to fruition as I have enjoyed these just as much, if not more than the previous series. If you are a fan of comedic writing akin to Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimen then I would strongly recommend you try these books - they have had me laughing out loud on many occasions. All in all another great read from Mr. Fforde - fingers crossed there will be plenty more to come.
