Those of us who read the Big Over Easy will love that this second novel in the Nursery Crime series picks up pretty much where the first novel left off. Things get way more complicated, and hilarious, for Jack Spratt as he wrestles with the demands of the NCD and trying to convince his superiors (and his co-workers) that he isn't completely bonkers! The NCD has fallen out of public favor after Jack let Red Riding Hood and her Gran get eaten by the big bad Wolf, the murderous psychopath Gingerbreadman has escaped from top security prison, famous journalist Goldilocks has been murdered, Punch and Judy have moved in next door, Jack's daughter is engaged to marry a Titan immortal, and his marriage to Madeleine is on the skids after he admits that he really is a Person of Dubious Reality. On top of it all, Ashley the Alien asks Mary Mary out on a date, to meet his parents no less! Everyone will be laughing and crying along with Jack Spratt as he solves the case of the Fourth Bear! A fantastic, hilarious book!
