Yawn!
Too slow. I don’t even know what the story is about and cannot continue to find out

"Farcically" funny and laugh out loud.
If you didn't know any better, you'd know this was written by the same author of the wonderful Paddington Bear stories! The flights of fancy are so reminiscent of the great little bear himself. The Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites duo are an absolute jest to the point that l laughed out loud on multiple occasions. The detection work isn't too shabby either. Bond is a brilliant writer and Bill Wallis is a spectacular narrator. That duo is a heaven-made combination.

Good story but a little too slow.
This book dragged along a bit despite being quite a good story with some interest characters. .

Listened to the end but no idea what was going on
I don’t like to give up on audiobook so I did finish this one but despite a few amusing bits I really have no idea what was going on in this plot.
I found the narrator very difficult to hear when he was doing his growly French accented bits. This didn’t really help me follow the story.

Great fun and a good ol' crime to boot!
I really enjoyed this book. Obviously Pomme Frite is the star of the show. Not only does he have a great nose for exquisite food he seems to be able to sniff out the bad guys too.

Entertaining and well read
Another amusing story from Michael Bond expertly narrated by Bill Wallis. For me the story is less important than the characters who are well developed.

Very cosy crime but rather lovely
Thoroughly enjoyed this characterful and gentle tale. For me, it's a nice antidote to the fast-paced thrillers I often read or listen to. Great for bedtime listening as it won't give you nightmares and the narration is beautiful. I miss the characters already. Triciax

Excellent Story Beautifully Read
An enjoyable return to the Parisien world of Le Guide and its stock pots in which Pommes Frites must come to the rescue of Aristide Pamplemousse once again. The bloodhound shows remarkable discernment!
I particularly enjoyed the gastronomic references and the detailed routes through Paris, a city that we can’t visit in person just now due to the pandemic. For the duration of this book I felt as though I was travelling through those streets again in an aged 2CV.
Very much hope that Audible will add more Pamplemousse books before too long.

Deliciously Slow
This book, like ‘Le Guide’, is slow-cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a sumptuous read - look no further.
