Monsieur Pamplemousse on Probation

Monsieur Pamplemousse finds himself in deep water when an unfortunate collision with a Mother Superior is caught on camera. To avoid media attention, he is sent to report on Chef André Dulac, currently in line for Le Guide’s top award, and opens a can of worms which threatens the very sanctity of France’s premier gastronomic bible. Being on the verge of haute cuisine takes on a whole new meaning, and his attempt to get at the truth by harnessing a state-of-the-art TV camera to his ever-faithful hound Pommes Frites, ensures that outside broadcasting will never be quite the same again. Beloved worldwide for Paddington Bear, Bond has been busy this past year with the release of Paddington Races Ahead as well as the official Paddington app. Rejacketed into a fresh new style, Michael Bond’s culinary crime capers are a joy to read.
