A Northern Light in Provence

I never fail to be impressed at authors creativity.

In this novel, Colleen Cambridge positions her heroine as a neighbour of Julia and Paul Childs living in Paris in 1949.

Tabitha Knight is a poor cook and enthusiastic to learn all she can from her talented neighbour Julia of ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ fame. Après a party in the Childs apartment block where a young woman is murdered (using one of Julias favourite cooking knives no less!) and Tab and Julia are on the trail.

Between visits to the markets to stock up on the ingredients to make a perfect mayonnaise (Julia), visits to the theatre where the young lady worked (Tab), disastrous cooking experiences trying to make dinner for her uncles (Tab) and a rather good looking young French detective, the story rattles along.
