Mastering The Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge

A delicate and perfectly measured balance of the playful wit of Julia Child with a spicy murder mystery. The story takes place in post war Paris where a young American woman is visiting her beloved Grandperes. She is with her good friend Julia Child when they discover a dead woman after a party at the Child's and Julia's sister's residence. Suddenly she is thrown into the lobster pot along with the other party guests as suspects by an unfeeling French detective. Adding a pinch of sleuthing seasoning Tabitha decides to investigate on her own and clear her friend's name but just like the mayonnaise that gives Julia so much trouble, it will take the exact balance of luck and a level head to catch the killer. A touch of Agatha Christie style mystery blended with enough Parisian atmosphere and French cooking to make your mouth water ,this will give armchair detectives and amateur chefs a culinary and literary treat.  4 delicious stars
