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

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. —School Library Journal
