Critical Reviews
Vraiment, another standout.
--Kirkus Reviews Established Bonbon buffs will welcome another excellent installment, while newcomers will quickly find their footing in the terrifically funny, fast-paced setting. Amusing illustrations have a scribbled Quentin Blake quality that suits the silly story perfectly, and the utilization of dark page backgrounds during scenes set at night or underground is inspired. Another marvelous, pun-packed mystery with enormous appeal.
--Booklist Charming and precocious Bonnie Montgomery is a pint-sized version of Inspector Poirot in this kid-friendly series reminiscent of Agatha Christie's great works. It has all the necessary ingredients for a perfect whodunit. . . . Fantastically comical illustrations deliver insight into the characters' personalities and keep the story moving right along.
