Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints

A Brothers Grimm Mystery

By: P. J. Brackston

Narrated by: Kate Reading

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Witch's Daughter comes the story of Gretel, all grown up and investigating the disappearance of Albrecht Dürer's treasured frog prints.

Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Dürer 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.

Even with the aid of the chatty mice living under her bed, the absent prints remain stubbornly out of view, and Gretel is forced to get creative in her search for the truth.

I enjoyed the shower of language to enhanced story

the story moved at a good pace, as a mystery I moved like a maze to be figured out

Unexpectedly entertaining.

It was a good read. It was humorous. I would read more in the series.

I really enjoy the Brothers Grimm Mysteries.

I listened to this series backwards but I enjoyed them never the less. The case of the Missing Frog Prints was as good as the rest of the books. I blew through this book in two days. Parts are funny and others just entertaining. When Albrecht Dürer 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. Gretel is smart and funny and clever and gets herself into all kinds of hilarious situations as she endeavors to solve a mystery. there are talking mice that help her along the way. Kate Reading is perfect for the narration of this book. I laughed and laughed. Having enjoyed this book immensely.

Not Great, But Worth The Time

Kind of an interesting fantasy slash mystery with a strong female detective. Too much celebration of gluttony and descriptions of clothes for my taste, but neither detracted from the story that much. Narration was quite good, too.

good and silly

this writer has a really good knack for describing physical comedy. they also make heavy subjects like theft and murder light enough that this is a cute story. I mean just ridiculous and thrilling. I'm adoring the series.
