![]() Basing this book in Paris while Child, an American, is studying culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu, befriends a neighbor- Tabitha- who is also an American, and a terrible cook. The author takes artistic liberties with Child. This is a work of fiction even though Julia Child is a character. ![]() Tellingly, the first line of the book is: “ Julia Child had a mayonnaise problem.” There is a double murder to solve and a killer at large, but it’s within the context of a light-hearted friendship between Tabitha (our protagonist) and Julia Child (the not-yet-famous chef). I would probably classify this book as a ‘cozy mystery.’ (Even though there is a bloody knife and skulls and crossbones on the front…) ![]() “I suppose if one could count having a father for an investigator and reading mystery novels as the groundwork for real-life detection experience, I was as prepared as anyone.” ![]() Mastering the Art of French Murder (An American in Paris #1) ![]()
