Named one of â13 Detective Book Series You Obsessed Over as a Kidâ by Buzzfeed and the inspiration for a hit Disney film, the masterful Great Mouse Detective is back and scurrying off to Paris to discover whoâs threatening the organizers of the Great Cheese Cook-off!
Basil the mouse detective is called to Paris when the organizers of the Great Cheese Cook-off (an international culinary competition) start receiving threats against the event. Who could want to deprive all of mousedom of one of its tastiest nights?
Basil immediately suspects Ratigan, who has escaped yet again and was seen lurking around Paris (and who, perhaps, holds a particular grudge against the eventâs organizers). He sets off on his investigation at the eventâs location, the Parisian College of Cooking (where local foodie mice hide out and take advantage of the schoolâs kitchens after the human students have departed each evening). But Basil is baffled when circumstantial evidence shows that it couldnât have been his old enemy after all.
With one suspect crossed off the list, itâs up to Basil to find out whatâs going onâbefore those anonymouse threats ruin the Cook-Offâfor good!
