Monsieur Pamplemousse is the first book in the series of the same name. The story introduces us to Monsieur Pamplemousse, inspector of food and detective extraordinaire, as well as his friendly dog and helper, Pommes Frites. Pamlemousse gets the chance to dine at the fame La Langoustine in Provence as the restaurant aims to earn their third Red Stockpot. He is very excited for the night when he cuts into the restaurant’s house delicacy and finds something far more grisly and sinister. It seems that someone wants Pamplemousse out of the way and he’ll return to his sleuthing roots to find out who it is.
A Bear Called Paddington is the first book in the long-running Paddington series and introduces us to the bear who traveled from Peru to meet the Brown family.
