Dead bodies never look like this. It's Easter in Reading and the shattered, tuxedo-clad corpse of local businessman Humpty Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III has been found lying beneath a wall in a shabby part of town.
Humpty was one of life's good guys - so who would want him knocked off? And is it a coincidence that his ex-wife has just met with a sticky end down at the local biscuit factory? A hardened cop on the mean streets of the Thames Valley's most dangerous precinct, DI Jack Spratt has seen it all, and something tells him this is going to be a tough case to crack...
Daily Mail
“A riot of puns, in-jokes and literary allusions that Fforde carries off with aplomb.”
Daily Mirror
“Hilarious, absurd and utterly compelling.”
