Hot cross buns, hardboiled noir, and a fresh batch of fairytale mayhem—Detective Muff N. Mann is officially back on the beat!
At Narrative Retail, we couldn’t be more excited to announce the official release of M&T’s Private Detection and Bakery: Case File: 3LP, the second novel in Brad A. LaMar’s acclaimed Goz Tales universe.
If you loved the dry wit, classic fairytale twists, and bakery-infused detective work of Book 1, get ready: Book 2 turns up the heat, expands the world into uncharted kingdoms, and dives headfirst into a dark conspiracy that threatens all of Gosling.
🔎 The Case File: What’s Baking in Book 2?
When Norma Pigg, Gosling’s richest and most elusive socialite, struts into the bakery asking for help, Muff N. Mann and his partner Tom Thumb find themselves pulled into a high-stakes investigation. Her brothers, the infamous 3 Little Piggs, are caught in the crosshairs of a ruthless gumming epidemic sweeping through the underworld.
To solve the mystery, the M&T crew will have to brave the shady dive bars of Mars Hill, navigate corrupt power players, and travel across borders to the eerie, secret-filled streets of the Kingdom of Grimm.
"No bread is unrisen and no citizen cleared until Detective Muff N. Mann gets to the bottom of the proverbial pan."
