Summary
Four days later, a man and a woman are found deep in woodland, their throats slashed, the names "Hansel" and "Gretel" written on slips of paper pressed into their hands. As Jan Fabel, of the Hamburg murder squad, interprets this twisted imagery, it becomes clear that each new crime is a grisly reference to folk stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. The hunt is on for a serial killer who is exploring the darkest, most fundamental fears hidden in ancient fairy tales.

Brother Grimm
Thought it would be a struggle to find someone to compete with Steig Larsonn but Craig Russell is very close. Well constructed and believable key characters.

Almost Better than Blood Eagle
After thoroughly enjoying Blood Eagle I continued on with the second title. Craig Russell continues to build on the characters from the 1st book with a very well done thriller! It had me guessing until the end. Recommended if you enjoyed his first book.

Can smell the baking
I revisited this book and enjoyed it just as much. The combination of the story and narration evoked the smells of baking and hot sugar.

Good story woven around these tales
I like the way the author takes these fairy tales and threads through these well know tales a baseline, on what these original tales would have been about. Excellent entertainment.

fascinating
enjoyed this. narrator excellent as always with Barrett. storyline moved along well and held attention. love the breath of fresh air that is a detective with no booze problem. ..no relationship hassles...no deep dark hang ups and issues that make him a complicated complex character with horrendous background experiences. just a "normal" guy doing a job. ...makes a nice change from my recent reads. . ..well done Mr. Russell...

Brilliant
Great narrator, compelling gruesome story. Fabel as a character is straightforward with no apparent baggage. The hook and explanation s of the meanings behind Brothers Grimm points me in that direction for more …..

brilliant author
i found this book well written and well constructed. Craig Russell has been a good find,as in all his books so far he hasn't let me down. i must be honest and say i prefer the Flavel series over the Glasgow but having said that both are very good. he is definitely on my favourite author list. Sean Barrett as narrator is excellent.

Gruesome Fairy Tale
The second story in the Jan Fabel series takes on a journey with a fairy tale inspired serial killer.
Works stand alone but better of read in the series.
Sean Barrett is a brilliant narrator - without doubt the best of all. This story shows his wealth of accents beautifully.
Heartily recommended to all those who enjoy a gruesome murder mystery. And rhere’s more in the series to enjoy.
