Jasper Fforde does it again with a dazzling new series
starring Inspector Jack Spratt, head of the Nursery Crime
Division
Jasper Fforde's bestselling Thursday
Next series has delighted readers of every genre with its
literary derring-do and brilliant flights of fancy. In
The Big Over Easy, Fforde takes a break from classic
literature and tumbles into the seedy underbelly of nursery
crime. Meet Inspector Jack Spratt, family man and head of
the Nursery Crime Division. He's investigating the murder of
ovoid D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Dumpty, found
shattered to death beneath a wall in a shabby area of town.
Yes, the big egg is down, and all those brittle pieces
sitting in the morgue point to foul play.
