Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints

Brothers Grimm Mysteries, Book 2

By: P.J. Brackston

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Durer 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.

Critic reviews

'Bestseller Brackston melds folktale whimsy with a sardonic adult voice in the rollicking first of a series set in 1776 Bavaria.' (Publishers Weekly)

'A truly original work that blends the best of fantasy and mystery and adds more than a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor to the mix. Highly recommended.' (The Midwest Book Review)

'Larger-than-life characters are balanced with a smart plot that is sure to appeal to fans of Jasper Fforde's ''Nursery Crime'' series.' (Library Journal)
