I’m hoping there will be many more in the charming American in Paris Mystery Series. I enjoyed Tabitha and her interactions with her family and friends, but they mystery itself is also a clever one that draws from historic details. She also struggles in the kitchen and looks to her friend for cooking tips, which allows for some fun, light hearted moments amongst a mystery committed with Julia’s own chef knife.
Tabitha worked in a factory during war time in Michigan and feels at odds with returning to a world where women are expected to wear dresses and simply get married, so takes the opportunity to temporarily relocate to Paris and works as an English tutor, while trying to decide what her next chapter in life will be. Fans of Julia and France will be happy to see that details about both were well researched and Cambridge depicts them in loving detail. The novel is set in post WWII Paris, where Julia Child’s fictional best friend, Tabitha, is living with her Grandfather and “Oncle” Rafe. I received an advanced reader’s copy from the publisher and Netgalley so I could give you an honest review.
Mastering the Art of French Murder is the first book in a new series by Colleen Cambridge.
