I loved the first book and I love this one, too. The murders and investigations are well done and have lots of distractions and twists as well as wonderful atmospheric descriptions of the Paris catacombs.
Tabitha Knight is from Detroit, Michigan, has French grandparents, is living with French relatives and has been taken under the wing of Julia Child, the energetic and excitable American who is just now finding her niche in the world of cooking as the French do.
No recipe section at the end, but there are so many hints and tips that are so well added that I could smell the deliciousness.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely read any others as they come along!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC from Kensington Books, Kensington cozies via NetGalley. Thank you!

This second installment of An American in Paris cozy mystery series is just as enjoyable and fast-paced as the previous novel. Loveable and realistic characters, with Julia Child and her cooking described as if you're sitting there learning along with the MC. Set during post-WWII, the author nails not only the time period but the atmosphere of Paris as well. The mystery is well-written too. Loved it. Recommended, especially if you devoured the first in the series.
