Can't Wait Wednesday #23

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I am looking forward to the April 25 release of Colleen Cambridge's Mastering the Art of French Murder. It the first book in a new series, An American in Paris Murders. The book features Julia Child's fictional best friend Tabitha Knight. Upon arrival in Paris for an extended stay with her French grandfather, she meets his neighbor Julia Child and learns how to cook. Tabitha also tutors Americans in the French language, visits the markets and samples Julia's homework from the Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. One awful December day the two of them find a body in the cellar of Julia's building. The murder weapon is a knife that was taken from Julia's kitchen. I think that this is going to be a fantastic series and I am excited about reading Mastering the Art of French Murder.

  2. This does sound interesting, although I usually don't like books that make up things about real people. I am a big fan of Julia Child and just wish I had run into her in Cambridge, MA when we both lived there. I have heard many stories (perhaps made up) about people who encountered her and demanded cooking advice on the spot. Apparently, she was usually greatly entertained and answered them!
