A Murder Most French by Colleen Cambridge

 This is the second in a series, which I didn't realize when I got it out of the library. It's set in Paris just after WW2 and features a girl named Tabitha from Michigan who has moved to Paris to stay with her grandfather and his special friend, Uncle Rafe. Tabitha is inordinantly interested in solving crimes (her father was a cop). And much to the dismay of the dashing Inspector Merveille, she keeps getting entangled in his investigations. And oh by the way, her neighbor is Julia Child, with whom she has become fast friends.

In this tome, a famous chef is murdered via cyanide in a very expensive bottle of wine he receives as a gift. Then a second famous chef dies the same way. Since Tabita was present at both of these events, she can't help but stick her nose in, which gets her into trouble when she gets too close to figuring out the killer. But she is a spunky American girl and not a helpless female, so she is certain she can figure out a way to survive and unmask the killer. 

Can't wait for the next book. And I'm really in the mood for some coq au vin, after reading all the mouthwatering descriptions of Julia's fabulous adventures in cooking.
