TV hostess of Women Who Make a
Difference, Norah Hemming provides a trip to Paris to four deserving Tinker’s
Cove, Maine women (and their husbands) due to their raising money and awareness
for two decades for the Hat and Mitten Fund charity. One of the quartet Pennysaver columnist Lucy Stone also looks forward to seeing her daughter
Elizabeth who works at the Cavendish Hotel in Paris.
The eight visiting Americans enjoy the
City of Lights as they tour the attractions, and Lucy and her husband are
thrilled in seeing their oldest though the two females argue somewhat. Lucy and her three friends (Sue, Rachel, and Pam) obtain lessons at Le
Cooking School from renowned pastry chef Larry Bruneau. However, at the school, Lucy finds Chef Larry dying
from a knife stabbing in his chest. Police Commissaire LaPointe leads the official inquiry
starting with taking the passports from Lucy and her companions as they are
suspects.
The latest Lucy Stone mystery (see Christmas Carol Murder and Easter Bunny
Murder) is an enjoyable Parisian whodunit as the Americans in Paris
theme is fun to follow. Although the
mystery is over the top of the Eifel Tower, series fans will relish this bon
appétit entry.
