This was a library book find! It’s the third book in a series. The premise is that Hansel and Gretel have grown up, and now Gretel is a detective who gets wrapped up in all sorts of fantastical hijinks.
For some reason this was a slow read for me. I found myself getting a little sleepy every time I read it, with long paragraphs sometimes spanning multiple pages.
Overall the story was fun and an homage to the classic fairy tale, with a twist . The mental images of some of the fixes our main character ended up in made me chuckle.
A Brothers Grimm Scooby-Doo mystery - there was even a big, lovable dog.
