Michael Jacobson Book Review Gold Coast Bulletin (2009):
"Great fun for the kids. French musician Monsieur Padam is determined to find the thieves who stole his mate’s precious necklace. With help from Thomas the sailor, his dog Petit and Elisa the holidaying Aussie, this foursome leads young readers into an enjoyable detective story and mystery-adventure. In a word: ‘Imaginative’."
