Jack Spratt
Investigates.. The Fourth Bear - Jasper
Fforde
Detective Jack Spratt with Sergeant Mary Mary are in the NCD or
Nursery Crimes Division. Jack has been demoted to Missing Persons
because of some scandal. He is tasked to find Henrietta "Goldy"
Hachette, star reporter for The Mole.
It plunges him into the seedy underbelly of Bear Society where
porridge and honey abuse is rampant.
To add to this, the psychopath Gingerbread Man has just escaped and
is starting his murderous rampage all over again.
Together, Jack and Mary, with their alien colleague Ashley piece
together a huge conspiracy and solve the mystery which somehow
along the way include an indestructable car sold to Jack by Dorian
Gray, Jack's new maniac neighbours Punch and Judy and the Three
Bears.
Quite enjoyable. 3 1/2 out of 5.
