The Boysen Blue

By Paul Trow

The Boysen-Blue A nonsensical tale that's berry berry punny - prepare to get in a real pickle
Welcome to Market Town, where the fruit and veg live in perfect (well, almost perfect) harmony - until someone starts making off with the goods and leaving everyone in a jam
PC Andy Berry, the steadfast boysenberry bobby of the Boysen-Blue force, patrols the stalls with a cool head and a sharp eye. But when Madame Cantaloupe's melons vanish, spices go missing, and the market turns into a real fruit salad of crime, all eyes turn to the town's slickest suspect: Cipolla Rossa, the red onion rogue with a fake Italian accent thicker than onion soup and a Shallot Squad that's always in a bit of a mince.
Is Rossa really the one peeling off with the loot? Or is a shadowy figure (cloaked, calculating, and definitely not a shallot) stirring up trouble from the old jam factory rooftop?
With dramatic onion monologues, rooftop stalkers, and a Shallot Squad that trips over its own enthusiasm, Andy might have to team up with the slippery suspect himself... before the whole town gets totally squashed
A delightfully daft detective romp full of layers of laughter, un-beet-able puns, and produce-powered pluck - perfect for kids (and grown-ups) who like their mysteries served with extra silliness. Lettuce turnip the fun and find out who done it
(When a berry copper and a red onion go head-to-head... things get a-peel-ing )
