The Fairy-Tale Detectives: Sisters Grimm Book 1

I picked up the The Fairy-Tale Detectives because I don't read many mysteries and felt I should try to expand my knowledge of the genre a bit. I thought this would be a great one for me in particular because I love retellings - especially fairy tale retellings.

And the book was fine - certain twists were particularly cute (insinuating that Prince Charming has at one time been married to all the princesses was my personal favorite). But I wasn't wow'd. Particularly because I was expecting a mystery book and it felt more like an adventure book after their grandmother gets kidnapped.

All in all it was fine and I may recommend to some children, but I won't be handing to to a lot.
