Set in the City of Light and starring Julia Child’s (fictional) best friend Andre fellow American, this magnifique new historical mystery series from the acclaimed author of Murder at Mallowan Hall combines a fresh perspective on the iconic chef’s years in post-WWII Paris with a delicious mystery and a unique culinary twist.
As Paris rediscovers its joie de vivre, a woman is on her own journey of discovery. Thanks to her neighbor and friend Julia Child, she is learning how to cook! Her sojourn is proving thoroughly delightful.
That is, until they learn that a body has been found in the cellar. The murder weapon found nearby is recognizable too -a knife from Julia's kitchen.
She is eager to help the investigation but is shocked when it is revealed that a note, in her handwriting, was found in the dead woman's pocket! Is this murder a case of international intrigue, or something far more personal? She navigates through the city hoping to find the real killer before she or one of her friends ends up in prison...or worse.
