Monsieur Pamplemousse and the French Solution: The charming and witty crime caper

THE MUCH-LOVED CREATOR OF PADDINGTON BEAR RETURNS WITH A PUZZLING NEW CASE FOR MONSIEUR PAMPLEMOUSSE AND HIS FAITHFUL BLOODHOUND POMMES FRITES

When Monsieur Pamplemousse gets an urgent summons from the Director of Le Guide, he knows that there is trouble at the top. But neither he nor his faithful sniffer dog, Pommes Frites, expects the trouble to involve a nun who is in the habit of joining the Mile High Club or a full-scale smear campaign targeting Le Guide's credibility as France's premier restaurant and hotel guide. Someone has been spreading worrying rumours among the staff and infiltrating the company files – awarding hotels prizes for bedbugs and praising egg and chips signature dishes. Even Pommes Frites has become a victim of the assault. It could all spell the ruin for Le Guide, but Pamplemousse is on the case . . .
