    About this ebook

    The Channel Tunnel is all very well as a mundane means of crossing La Manche but there are those who still believe in airships as the luxury transport of the future.

Honour is at stake and a desperate call for help goes out to Le Guide, France's most distinguished gastronomic publication. Monsieur Pamplemousse, ex Surete sleuth turned food inspector, is called on to rectify matters.The assignment gets off to an inauspicious start. As he nears the launch site in Brittany, Monsieur Pamplemousse's 2CV is run off the road by a carful of decidedly ungodly nuns. And the lady trapeze artist who rescues him clearly has something other than the evening's acrobatics preying on her mind. When an old friend cuts him dead, he suspects the worst...

Fortunately, bears don’t need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.

      Okay, I love the entire Pamplemousse (which means grapefruit) series. Pamplemousse is a critic for Le Guide, which gives awards (like its "competitor" the Michelin Guide), to various restaurants. This requires Pamplemousse, and his bloodhound Pommes Frites, to travel across France and eat at fine restaurants where a mystery just happens to occur. Very witty, sometimes some very funny and wry sexual references. The author also writes the Paddington Bear children's books.
