The Big Over Easy

by Jasper Fforde

The Big Over Easy - Thryft
The Big Over Easy - Thryft

Detective satire in a twisted nursery rhyme world.

If you fancy a blend of whimsy and wittiness set against a backdrop of familiar tales gone awry, "The Big Over Easy" is your match. Jasper Fforde crafts a narrative that's as much a loving parody of detective dramas as it is an inventive twist on the nursery rhymes you thought you knew. Think of it as a literary escapade that tickles both your nostalgia and your intellect.

Description

Dead bodies never look like this. It's Easter in Reading - a bad time for eggs - and the shattered, tuxedo-clad corpse of local businessman Humpty Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III has been found lying beneath a wall in a shabby part of town. Humpty was one of life's good guys - so who would want him knocked off? And is it a coincidence that his ex-wife has just met with a sticky end down at the local biscuit factory? A hardened cop on the mean streets of the Thames Valley's most dangerous precinct, DI Jack Spratt has seen it all, and something tells him this is going to be a tough case to crack...
