<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III, is found shattered to death, all the evidence points to his ex-wife, who has conveniently shot herself. But Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his assistant Mary Mary remain unconvinced.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Enter the world of the Nursery Crime Division in this novel from Jasper Fforde, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Thursday Next series and <i>The Constant Rabbit</i></b> <p/>Jasper Fforde's bestselling Thursday Next series has delighted readers of every genre with its literary derring-do and brilliant flights of fancy. In<i> The Big Over Easy</i>, Fforde takes a break from classic literature and tumbles into the seedy underbelly of nursery crime. Meet Inspector Jack Spratt, family man and head of the Nursery Crime Division. He's investigating the murder of ovoid D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Dumpty, found shattered to death beneath a wall in a shabby area of town. Yes, the big egg is down, and all those brittle pieces sitting in the morgue point to foul play. <p/>[Forde] knows a thing or two about leaping into new worlds. . . . It's hard not to see what all the enthusiasm is about. -Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>A wonderfully readable riot. -<i>The Wall Street Journal</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A wonderfully readable riot . . . [A] cleverly plotted, magically overstuffed yet amazingly digestible book . . . This summer's perfect beach read for eggheads. --<b>The Wall Street Journal</b><p>As if the Marx brothers were let loose in the children's section of a strange bookstore. --<b>USA Today</b></p><p>Pythonesque . . . Like the Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket books, this one is abundantly playful without being truly geared for children. Anyone who has ever been read a nursery rhyme . . . can appreciate Mr. Fforde's outlandish joking. --<b>Janet Maslin</b>, <b>The New York Times</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jasper Fforde</b> traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page. He lives and writes in Wales. The <i>Eyre Affair</i> was his first novel in the bestselling Thursday Next series. He is also the author of the Nursery Crime series.<p> </p><p> </p>
