The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde
4.0

In the second outing for Detectives Jack Spratt (two Ts) and Mary Mary of the Nursery Crime Division, the Ginger Bread Man has escaped, bears are getting into illegal porridge, and Jack's wife discovers he's a PDR (personage of dubious reality).[return][return]Fun continuation of the mystery series. Fforde does a good job of interweaving classic nursery rhymes with crime fiction. While I like his Thursday Next series better, this is satisfying.
