Erkül Bwaroo, Elf Detectiv - at your Service
In a quiet corner of the peaceful forest, a beautiful princess lies dead.
Most believe it was an unfortunate accident.
But not Erkül Bwaroo.
An elf with impeccable manners, a razor-sharp mind, and a moustache to take your breath away, Bwaroo has an impressive record of solving the cases that no one else would touch. When seven dwarfs summon him to their woodland cottage, insisting their princess was murdered, Bwaroo’s instincts soon tell him that this is definitely not the tragic accident it looks like.
The obvious suspect is the unfortunate girl’s wicked stepmother, of course. But Bwaroo is not one to leap to conclusions. To him, everyone, including the dwarves who summoned him, is a suspect until the logic of his little grey cells confirms they are innocent.
As he follows a trail of secrets, lies, half-truths and long-buried grudges – with his loyal butler Weissman at his side – Bwaroo must use all his wits to solve a case that grows darker by the hour. But there is not a second to lose. Because murders rarely happen in isolation …
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.
