When Monsieur Pamplemousse got an urgent summons from the Director of Le Guide, he knew that there was trouble at the top. His faithful canine companion, Pommes Frites, noticed it too.
But neither of them expected that the trouble would involve a nun who was in the habit of joining the Mile High Club or a full-scale smear campaign targeting Le Guide's credibility as France's première 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...
'A delightful cross between whimsy and French farce . . . The books have charm in abundance, sharp characterisation and gentle wit'Crime Review
My favourite detective returns with his dog Pommes Frites. So forget Detective Clouseau, you will grin and laugh out loud from start to finish with this great book!! A nun, the Mile HIgh Club and a new French Food Guide feature in this, an adventure you'll be so sad to finish. So fun!Julie, Lancaster
