Mastering the Art of French Murder

A light froth of a murder mystery set in Paris and launching what will obviously be a series with Tabitha, a fictional young American woman living with her great-uncle and her grandfather and neighbors (and fellow sleuth) with Julia Child. A fun conceit, giving the author time to explore the City of Lights, culinary treats, and oh, the occasional murder. Fine set of secondary characters although the plot itself was long on coincidence and short on clues that would actually lead to detecting who was behind the murders. If you're in the mood for a 1950's cozy with an interesting concept that doesn't tax your brain cells but offers an intriguing romp, this book's for you.
