Despite the success of the Humpty Dumpty investigation, the well publicised failure to prevent Red Riding-Hood and her Gran being eaten once again plunges the Nursery Crime Division into controversy. Enforced non-involvement with the Gingerbreadman hunt looks to be frustrating until a chance encounter at the oddly familiar Deja-Vu Club leads them onto the hunt for missing journalist Henrietta 'Goldy' Hatchett, star reporter for The Daily Toad".

First I read "The Big Over Easy". The whole concept is extremely clever. I loved all of it. It was totally enjoyable. This is the next book in the series. It is every bit as good as the first. I would highly recommend it to anybody. It's really very, very good.
