Review title: Fantasy and crime meet in Reading
Product review: Jasper Fforde successfully crosses over crime and fantasy genres in this his first book about the Nursery Crimes Division of the Reading Police Department. It seems that this town in England is plagued by crimes committed by or on nursery tale characters, yet the story proceeds smoothly as a well-thought-out whodunit. The character development is well done with a consistent voice and after a while I started thinking of Humpty Dumpty as a victim of a heinous crime, forgetting that he was a giant egg, and so it goes for all the nursery tales characters that Fforde brings to life and then kills off. Although the crimes can be gruesome, there is a certain lightness to be found in Fforde's style and the book was a pleasure to read. I strongly recommend it for fans of fantasy, but real fans of crime stories might find Fford's eccentricities hard to handle.
