Meet Thursday Next, literary detective without equal, fear or boyfriend.

There is another 1985, where London's criminal gangs have moved into the lucrative literary market, and Thursday Next is on the trail of the new crime wave's Mr Big.

Acheron Hades has been kidnapping characters from works of fiction and holding them to ransom. Jane Eyre is gone. Missing.

Thursday sets out to find a way into the book to repair the damage. But solving crimes against literature isn't easy when you also have to find time to halt the Crimean War, persuade the man you love to marry you, and figure out who really wrote Shakespeare's plays.

Perhaps today just isn't going to be Thursday's day. Join her on a truly breathtaking adventure, and find out for yourself. Fiction will never be the same again...

Make sure you read chapter 13

Inhaltswarnung Lots of hints at spoilers. Possibly you should read the review after the book.

This is a clever and very silly book which I've just finished re-reading and got more out of it this time (not least chapter 13). So many bits of business like the names, especially of minor characters like Paige's surname or Mr Bight's nationality.

Lots more of this to come over the next few books too ...

Review of 'The Eyre affair' on 'Goodreads'

5 Sterne

Jasper Fforde's "The Jane Eyre Affair" isn't your average whodunit. It's a genre-bending romp where literary worlds collide and Thursday Next, a delightfully snarky detective, enforces the law... of fiction. Prepare for laughs as iconic characters come to life, face modern mayhem, and navigate a plot that's as clever as it is captivating. Dive into this book if you crave wit, wonder, and a healthy dose of the unexpected.
