Forensics of a Fable

Autopsy of a Fairytale, Book 2

By: Nicole Scarano

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Beauty cannot love a beast and emerge unscathed.

Still reeling from her last case, Detective Isobel "Bel" Emerson finds comfort in both her dog and her newfound friendships. But when she and her new partner, Detective Gold, are called to the site of a bear attack, they discover something far more horrifying: the body of a young woman posed inside a cabin where the furniture is all too big. And to make matters worse, the cabin is located on Eamon Stone's property.

As the detectives race against the clock to find the killer before he murders another girl, Bel struggles with her growing attraction to Eamon. He's once again a person of interest in her investigation, and while she knows she should stay away from him, she can't fight the thread of fate knitting them together. She also needs Eamon's beast to help with her case because as more evidence is revealed, the more Bel fears a new predator has come to Bajka. The question is: is this hunter man or monster?

Loosely inspired by "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," Forensics of a Fable is book two in the Autopsy of a Fairytale series, a crime procedural romantic suspense perfect for those who like dark fairytales, murder mystery/crime procedurals (like AMC's The Killing, Netflix's Lucifer, or NBC's Hannibal), romance, found family, and a hint of fantasy. Each book will be based on a different fairytale, but Bel (and her Beast) will connect them all, her story ending on small cliffhangers in each book.

vounerable charaters and easy to fallow story

I love the story and the characters the take way here dont judge a book by its cover be a good detective fallow the evidence and trust ur gut I love the narrated as she adds depth to characters and is easy to fallow she is engaging belle is favorite human character while cerbus is my favorite animal I admire helped determination and understanding andherr per severance to over come the obstinate she is faced with And that she is independent amen is completely infatuated with belle it shows a man can be both tough and soft they just need the right person to be vulnerable with

So far me favorite of the series

This is my favorite of the of the three. love the addition of gold and her love intrust. Do wish we got a little more them. I do appreciate it around PG-13

Reimagining Old Tales

I love the twist on the fairy tales I grew up reading. Taking the plots of the stories and reimagining them into modern day mysteries is captivating!

Good

I like Isabel, but it is hard for me to understand how she can go from loathing the person who scarred her to wanting to jump in his bed. The murders that are happening again in this town, I feel that they are following the story of the three bears. The difference is that there’s only one Bear in this story, who happens to be a Shapeshifter, a couple of homicides, and some odd clothes and furniture. I feel bad for Bell cause she seems to be running herself ragged trying to figure out this case.

Love the story, hate the love interest

Literally love everything about this EXCEPT Eamon. Considering continuing the series for the rest of the cast, but the romance with Eamon is such a huge part of it. *sigh*
