Bookroo's summary
In the forest, rumors spread like wildfire, and Detective Gordon is on the case. With his trusty assistant Buffy, they must uncover which animal is behind the malicious gossip. As Buffy questions suspects, Gordon ponders the mystery from his bed, where he does his best thinking. The stakes are high: solve the case, and Buffy might become Police Chief. But if they fail, the forest's harmony is at risk. Will Gordon's unorthodox methods crack the case, or will the truth remain hidden among the trees? Dive into this whimsical mystery filled with humor and heart.
From the publisher
The detective lay in bed with his eyes closed. But he couldn’t sleep. He was thinking. He always thought best in bed. Especially with his eyes closed. Something is going on in the forest: one of the animals is saying nasty things about the other forest creatures. But no one dares make a statement to the police. Who is the culprit? Detective Gordon and his assistant Buffy must investigate! But this is a complicated case. The two police officers split the workload: Buffy questions the suspects, while Gordon stays in bed to think. Once the investigation is over, Detective Gordon plans to go fishing and eat all the cakes he wants to. And maybe then Buffy will be appointed Police Chief! But that won’t happen unless this case can be solved… Detective Gordon: A Complicated Case is a warm and humor-filled follow-up to the well-reviewed Detective Gordon: The First Case.
