description: "One of crime's most entertaining sleuths." The Washington Post.Le Guide's apprentice restaurant reviewer is quite a dish! Nevertheless, when Monsieur Pamplemousse is sent on the road with the saucy Elsie, he is not amused -- despite the fact that he finds her delectable. Their destination is the Hotel des Dunes on the Cote d'Argent, and even with the chaperonage of his canine confrere, Pommes Frites, Pamplemousse feels uneasy. Not only is Elsie a tease, but the hotel food is a disgrace and the other guests unappetizing. Then the owner/chef vanishes, and Pommes Frites digs up a bone that was never part of any four-legged animal . . .
