Description

In this thrilling installment of Jasper Fforde's Nursery Crimes series, Detective Jack Spratt and his partner Mary Mary find themselves demoted to Missing Persons after a culinary mishap. Their mundane assignment takes a sharp turn when they begin investigating the disappearance of a prominent journalist, Henrietta “Goldy” Hatchett. The only witnesses are the Three Bears, whose seemingly idyllic life in Andersen's Wood hides a web of inconsistencies and suspicious circumstances. As Jack and Mary delve deeper, they uncover a chilling connection to a notorious, on-the-loose Gingerbreadman and the unsettling mystery of a potential "fourth bear."
