About this listen
'It looks like he died from injuries sustained during a fall....' Best-selling author Jasper Fforde begins an effervescent new series.
It's Easter in Reading - a bad time for eggs - and no one can remember the last sunny day. Humpty Dumpty, well-known nursery favourite, large egg, ex-convict and former millionaire philanthropist, is found shattered beneath a wall in a shabby area of town.
Following the pathologist's careful reconstruction of Humpty's shell, Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his Sergeant, Mary Mary, are soon grappling with a sinister plot involving cross-border money laundering, the illegal Bearnaise sauce market, corporate politics and the cut and thrust world of international chiropody.
As Jack and Mary stumble around the streets of Reading in Jack's lime green Austin Allegro, the clues pile up, but Jack has his own problems to deal with. And on top of everything else, the JellyMan is coming to town....

Pleasant experience
Jasper Fforde fails to disappoint as always. And the audio book is read well. I liked the voice acting. Not overdone, not mumbly, does not interfere with the reading.

Unique take on detective novels
A very fun and intriguing novel that takes a unique view on nursery rhythms and keeps you guessing to the very end :)

Quirky pleasing listen
Narration was very good as well apart from Mrs Singh that was just cringe worthy.
