Review: The Clever Detective: Story 1
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a tongue in cheek short story intended for an adult audience, that combines the fairy tales and nursery rhymes we all grew up with, in a modern detective story. The author has created a light hearted and silly romp that throws the archetype of the damsel in distress and the knight in shining armour on its ear. The story is told with a mix of misunderstanding and witty commentary by the lead character Stacey, who isn't quite sure what's going on. Overall, this was well written and would make a great bedtime story for adults when your looking for a quick easy read. It was good, but it could have done with being longer.
