About this listen

 Visiting France to view some famous medieval bibles (and confusing the natives with his 'fluent' French), Cyril Bonhamy mistakes the most dangerous criminal in France for the director of the Bibliothèque, and is plunged into one of the most terrifying adventures of his life.

Pursued by gendarmes through the sewers of Nice, speeding towards Belgium in a white Mercedes, and in mortal combat with the world's strongest man, Olaf Lockjaw, Cyril is all the while feverishly plotting his escape from the fiends he must bring to justice.

I loved this audiobook. Hugh Laurie is a delight to listen to, and the story is just clever enough without straining the brain. I’d recommend this to anyone who delights in a good tale and has a sense of the ridiculous.
My only complaint is that there are no more Cyril Bonhamy audiobooks!

More please!

Our whole family enjoyed this audiobook of Cyril’s ridiculous accidental adventures, a bit like Paddington in that regard. We enjoyed it and have listened to it from start to end at least 3 times. Wish there were more Cyril audiobooks!

Lots of laughs for the whole family
