A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge @colleengleason.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @colleengleason @KensingtonBooks

  A fashion faux pas happens when Tabitha finds a body rather than a fabulous Haute Couture gown on her first visit to a Collection showing.  Colleen Cambridge continues to wow me with her fun blend of real life personage Julia Child, post-WWII Paris, and her entertaining fictional characters and mystery plot. A Fashionably French […]

  After satiating myself on her Phyllida Bright Mystery series featuring Agatha Christie as a character, I was eager to taste test her newer series, American in Paris featuring the delectable Julia Child as a prominent side character.  Colleen Cambridge does a spectacular job melding historical real life characters and time period settings with her […]
