In this follow up to Incredible Hotel, a crime disrupts the hotel's prestigious baking competition. But will detective Matilda be able to solve the case? The Delaunay baking competition is coming up. It is taking place at the
Incredible Hotel and will judged by
guest of honour, the Duchess of Delaunay. Stefan has
perfected his Gingerbread castle recipe but on the morning of the event... the recipe is
nowhere to be found. Luckily, the best detective in Delaunay is on hand - Stefan's best friend, Matilda.
Who can the thief be?! Everyone has their theory and the Duchess is ready to point the finger at a baking saboteur.
Just in time, Matilda discovers the recipe has been snatched by the Duchesses dog, who has used it to make a cosy nest for a suprise litter of puppies.
All is forgiven and the competition resumes. Stefan wins the prize and
Matilda gets the respect she deserves from the very patronising local police department.
This
stunning, beautifully illustrated and
nostalgic picture book is a follow up to
Incredible Hotel, from exceptionally talented author Kate Davies and the award-winning illustrator Isabelle Follath. It visits the same unique hotel, depicted in
characterful illustrations and described with
whimsical and charming text.
