Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints: A Brothers Grimm Mystery
1 journaler for this copy...
I picked this up thinking it would a nice whimsical read. Unfortunately, it wasn't as whimsical as I hoped. This isn't a bad little cozy mystery, but the narrative is clunky at times. I get a bit tired of a few devices the author used more than once. If you want a light read in a slightly different setting than your usual cozy mystery this will be a good one. I do doubt I will ready any others in this series.
From the flap:
Bavaria, 1776.
When Albrecht Durer the Much Much Younger's Frog Prints go missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel (yes, that Gretel), now 35 and still living with her gluttonous brother Hans, is the country's most famous private investigator, and she leaps at the opportunity to travel to cosmopolitan Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the city’s annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that point toward the elusive thief.
