In the Irish Independent Ruth Dudley Edwards felt that Bond had not fully made the leap from children's fiction to its adult counterpart, "much knowledgeable carry-on about food and wine and jolly sex scenes notwithstanding". [29] The Observer praised "four-star moments among the custard pies". [30] In The Times Marcel Berlins wrote of an "engaging mix of farce, detection and cuisine", but thought Pommes Frites featured too prominently in Monsieur Pamplemousse on the Spot: "next time, grapefruit without chips, please". [1] Adaptations [ edit ] The hero of this richly-flavoured mystère gastronomlque has the sort of job lots of foodies would love – an inspector for a gourmet guide. But Pamplemousse never lets the case stand in the way of a gourmet experience, resulting in a nicely-cooked comic novel served with some rich sauce. But Monsieur Pamplemousse is no lemon (citrus fruit joke) and has more than a nose for wine. He is a detective of no mean quality. Accompanied by his dog Pommes Frittes – a hound given to raiding gourmet dustbins with spectacular results in canine flatulence – our hero sets off to find a missing chef. [28]
