    About this ebook

    During his time as an inspector with the Paris Sûreté Monsieur Pamplemousse had been 'in at the death' on more than one occasion, but even he had to admit that the phrase took on an entirely new meaning when, seated in the front row of Cuisine de Chavignol, the eponymous host uttered a strangled cry and sank from view behind a kitchen worktop.
    Pommes Frites, sniffer dog extraordinaire, has his own views on the matter: Claude Chavignol was a bad egg if ever he'd seen one. Subsequent events prove him right, and as soon as he and his master find themselves caught up in a bizarre world of unrequited lust, murder and blackmail in high places.

      Better known for his Paddington Bear stories,Michael Bond wrote a series of humorous crime books featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse. Monsieur P. used to be an Inspector for the Surete and is now employed by 'Le Guide',a premier food magazine. Due to these two affiliations,he frequently finds himself in situations similar to those found in this book. He attends a live television show in which a famous and much hated TV chef dies in front of his audience and millions of viewers,in somewhat suspicious circumstances. Death by oyster maybe.Pamplemousse,together with his bloodhound Pommes Frites investigate and come across many suspects,including the chef's wife.Very funny and quite racy at times,with lots of foodie references along the way.
    • 4/5
      Great fun! Pamplemousse and his dog Pommes Frites are very entertaining characters.
