Most believe it was an unfortunate accident.
Erkül Bwaroo does not.
An elf with impeccable manners, a razor-sharp mind, and a moustache to match, Bwaroo has long solved crimes no one else dared to call murder. When seven dwarfs summon him to their woodland cottage, insisting the princess was killed, Bwaroo begins to see beneath the fairy-tale charm—and into something far more sinister.
The obvious suspect is the stepmother, of course. But Bwaroo is not a man to leap to conclusions. To him, everyone is a suspect. Even the dwarfs.
As he follows a trail of secrets, lies, and long-buried
grudges—with his loyal valet Orges at his side—Bwaroo must use
all his wits to solve a case that grows darker by the hour.
Then,
a second body is found.
A clever and darkly playful homage to the golden age of British crime fiction, this novel blends mystery, wit, and folklore into a case unlike any other.
