Jasper Fforde
But Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his assistant Mary Mary remain unconvinced, a sentiment not shared with their superiors at the Reading Police Department, who are still smarting over their failure to convict the Three Pigs of murdering Mr. Wolff. Before long Jack and Mary find themselves grappling with a sinister plot involving cross-border money laundering, bullion smuggling, problems with beanstalks, titans seeking asylum, and the cut and thrust world of international chiropody.
And on top of all that, the JellyMan is coming to town.
The familiar and utterly transformed characters and world of nursery crime is pure ingenious fun. Just when you thought he'd stretched his astonishing imagination to the limit, Jasper Fforde does it again with this dazzling new series.

Critic reviews
"Fforde's whimsical fifth novel, his first not to feature literary detective Thursday Next, is consistently witty....The result is unusually clever." (Publishers Weekly)
"Fforde is gaining fans, and even readers who start out groaning may find themselves grinning." (Booklist)

This is one I'm glad was recommended to me.
A great detective story in the nursery rhyme world that is silly at times but has a great story that keeps you guessing until the end.
I mean, even if I gave away who killed Humpty Dumpty to you right now, you'd be saying "No way" the the very end.
Awesome book for adults and children.
My kids are going to love it!
I'm giving this book 8.5 out of 5 stars.
