Expect to leave this vacation hoping for a return trip.” –Publishers Weekly As Paris rediscovers its joie de vivre, Tabitha Knight, recently arrived from Detroit for an extended stay with her French grandfather, is on her own journey of discovery. Paris isn’t just the City of Light; it’s the city of history, romance, stunning architecture . . . and food. Thanks to her neighbor and friend Julia Child, another ex-pat who’s fallen head over heels for Paris, Tabitha is learning how to cook for her Grandpère and Oncle Rafe.Between tutoring Americans in French, visiting the market, and eagerly sampling the results of Julia’s studies at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school, Tabitha’s sojourn is proving thoroughly delightful. That is, until the cold December day they return to Julia’s building and learn that a body has been found in the cellar. Tabitha recognizes the victim as a woman she’d met only the night before, at a party given by Julia’s sister, Dort. The murder weapon found nearby is recognizable too—a knife from Julia’s kitchen.Tabitha is eager to help the investigation, but is shocked when Inspector Merveille reveals that a note, in Tabitha’s handwriting, was found in the dead woman’s pocket. Is this murder a case of international intrigue, or something far more personal? From the shadows of the Tour Eiffel at midnight, to the tiny third-floor Child kitchen, to the grungy streets of Montmartre, Tabitha navigates through the city hoping to find the real killer before she or one of her friends ends up in prison . . . or worse.

Brief Summary Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge

The book opens the night after a party chez Child (at which Julia’s sister Dort, who works at a local theater and is living with her sister and brother-in-law, has set Tabitha up on a blind date). Julia and Tabitha are shopping for dinner ingredients at the local market, and exchanging gossip with the stall owners, but when they return home they find a neighbor’s maid in distress…she has just found the dead body of a young woman. Worse still, the woman was at the Childs’ party the previous night, and had ridden down in the elevator at the end of the night with Tabitha . The murder weapon? One of Julia’ Child’s own knives! The French police, in the person of Inspecteur Merveille, are of course suspicious of the two American women. Therese, the dead woman, had worked at the theater with Dort and several of the other party guests, so Tabitha and Julia decide that they need to do some sleuthing of their own to clear their names.The real life Julia Child is most known for bringing the wonders of French cooking to the homes of average Americans in the 1960’s. During the war, however, she worked for the precursor of the CIA, the OSS, so its not hard to imagine her wanting to investigate a murder close to home.
