Jake Gander, Storyville Detective by George McClements

Jake Gander, a cop in Storyville, has been asked by Red R. Hood who thinks someone is impersonating her granny. Can he solve the case or will he need some help? I really enjoyed all the references to other fairy tales sprinkled throughout the book. I also enjoyed the book's pace which is  reminiscent  of 1930's hard boiled detectives stories, and while the illustrations are in bright, vivid colors, Jake is in black, white, and gray colors. Great for ages 8 and up.
