About this listen

 From the author who brought the world Paddington Bear, comes the new book in the delightful Parisian mystery series featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his canine partner, Pomme Frites.

In this latest adventure, they must get to the bottom of a mystery surrounding the tarnishing of the integrity of Le Guide - France's premier hotel and restaurant guide. What they couldn't anticipate was that the case would involve a nun who is in the habit of joining the Mile High Club...

Critic reviews

"Engaging mix of farce, detection and fine cuisine." ( The Times, London)
"Monsieur Pamplemousse and his faithful dog Pommes Frites are true and original comic inventions." ( Guardian)

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.

Excellent Story Beautifully Read

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.

Listened to the end but no idea what was going on

This book dragged along a bit despite being quite a good story with some interest characters. .

Good story but a little too slow.

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

Very cosy crime but rather lovely

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.

Entertaining and well read
