THE BIG BAD WOLF IS DEAD...and what's worse, he was murdered.

Alarick is the biggest and baddest wolf of the Tooth & Claw games - a legendary contest where Wolves battle Reds in a vicious game of "What's the Time, Mr Wolf?" But when Alarick drops dead in the middle of the championship final, his rival Ruby Red is horrified...because she gets the blame.
Realizing she has been framed for the crime, Ruby and her wolf-cub friend Fillan go on the run, determined to find the real murderer. But with a dogged detective, a wolf assassin and a gangster granny on their tails, they're going to need all of Ruby's Tooth & Claw skills to save themselves and hunt down the truth.

A super-pacy fairy-tale crime romp, from the bestselling author of The Train to Impossible Places, for fans of Murder Most Unladylike and twisted fairy tales like Disney's Descendants.

Reviews
What a book! The Big Bad Wolf Murder is a high-octane fairytale-inspired murder mystery filled with twists, danger, and edge-of-your-seat chase scenes. With a pacy plot, an enormously clever premise, and 5* writing from P.G Bell, I was hooked from the very first page. Pawsitively BRILLIANT!!! * Mel Taylor-Bessent, author of Race to Imagination Island *
In this brilliant new story from author P. G. Bell - the follow up to The Beanstalk Murder, one of my favourite reads of 2024 - we are witness to the death of the biggest and baddest of wolf sports stars, Alarick, in a whodunnit that is fast paced, filled with humour and littered with sneaky references to those traditional tales. Huge fun, it also conveys some very serious messages about equality and prejudice and is a read that I gobbled up within 24 hours of its arriving through the door. * Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library *
