I'm back with another Friday Post. As usual, I will be linking up to:
Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop
For the first three, I'll be pulling quotes from A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge.
This is the third book in her An American in Paris Mysteries, which are set in 1950 Paris. The main character just happens to be the neighbor and friend of Julia Child. Which gives us the opening quote:
"It's the easiest thing you'll ever make," Julia assured me gaily. "Just plop it all in a pot and let it cook."
Nothing too mysterious, or fashion related, in that line, I'll admit. But it isn't too long before we jump into both. Which is why we find this quote on page 56:
This morning, I begged off going to the market with her before my first appointment because I wanted to retrieve my winter coat from the police.
Confused? It makes sense in context, but I'll leave it for you to figure out.
The book doesn't officially come out until April 29th, but I enjoyed an ARC and my review will be up on Thursday. I hope you'll come back then to see what I thought.
But let's switch gears and take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop. This week's question is:
Do you know the Night Song in the Jungle?
Sorry, never heard of it.
Have a great weekend!
Looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of this series before--I'm putting it on my list. Enjoy the read!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious how the winter coat ended up at the police station and being left there. I don't read a lot of historical fiction, but it sounds like a great series. Have a wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't usually go in for these types of books but this series is right up my alley. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read this series. It looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI have the first book in this series on my TBR! I"m looking forward to reading it. Love the teasers.
