I really enjoyed the latest American in Paris Mystery. As a big fan of Julia Child, I always enjoy this series where she features as a supporting character. The author does a great job of writing Julia just as I would imagine she was - so fun and full of life! I also enjoy the character of Tabitha. She is a young woman living in Paris in the 1950’s, and she is a smart, fun girl who has a big heart and is happy to try to solve a mystery! The mystery was interesting and hard to solve, but fun to figure out! My only complaint about this series is that, like Julia, I would like Tabby to have a little romance!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own!

This was a strong third entry in the American in Paris Mystery series, it had that overall concept perfectly and enjoyed the murder mystery going on. The overall feel worked with the genre and the characters worked well in this universe. I enjoyed the way Colleen Cambridge wrote this and left me wanting to read more in this series and from Colleen Cambridge.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for the opportunity to read A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and hope for more to come.

This whole series is delightful, and this book is a great addition. It could be read as a standalone, but there are enough references to past events and slow unfolding of some relationships that it’s worth it to have read the previous books. Main character Tabitha continues to settle into postwar Paris after having grown up in Michigan, and yet again she finds a dead body and can’t quite leave the mystery alone. More crimes, another murder, and the ongoing and painful question of how Parisians handled the Nazi occupation drive the entertaining plot forward. Tabitha’s friendship with Julia Child continues to play a key role and provide both humor and mouthwatering food descriptions. Some potential personal developments also mean the next entry in the series will be anxiously awaited. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All views are entirely my own and are offered voluntarily.

I am captivated by the post WWII Paris setting of this series. Also, the characterization of Julia Child in the early stages of her cooking obsession is fascinating. When you add in a spunky protagonist , a soupçon of romance and a complex mystery it makes for a delightful read.
