Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints: A Brothers Grimm Mystery

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch's Daughter comes the story of Gretel, all grown up and investigating the disappearance of Albrecht Dürer's treasured frog prints.

Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Dürer the Much Much Younger's frog prints go missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel (yes, that Gretel), now thirty-five and still living with her gluttonous brother Hans, is the country's most famous private investigator, and she leaps at the opportunity to travel to cosmopolitan Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the city's annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that point toward the elusive thief.

Even with the aid of the chatty mice living under her bed, the absent prints remain stubbornly out of view, and Gretel is forced to get creative in her search for the truth.

Editorial Reviews

The Guardian

A sensitive, beautifully written account. If the Brontë sisters had penned magical realism, this would have been the result. 

Marie Claire

With her first novel, author Paula Brackston conjures up a riveting tale of sorcery and time travel. By mixing feminine heroism with masculine might, Brackston successfully captivates readers with characters Bess, an immortal witch, and sinister dark lord, Gideon... the skill with which Brackston weaves her characters through time makes this a fascinating take on global history.

Booklist

A tongue-in-cheek fantasy crime cozy, with tartness from Gretel herself to counter its sweetness, hints of romance provided by Uber General Ferdinand von Ferdinand, and the suggestion of a seagoing adventure ahead. For those immersed too long in the world of noir, this is an apt palette-cleanser.

KidsReads.com

Thoroughly delightful—I’m interested in what case Gretel will work on next.

Midwest Book Review

A truly original work that blends the best of fantasy and mystery and adds more than a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor to the mix. Highly recommended.
