Synopsis

When French financier Edgar Bowen drowns in a bowl of soup, his former girlfriend, American Rachel Levis, is alarmed by the unnatural death. Who dies eating a nice vichyssoise? But when she overhears a mourner at his funeral describing the circumstances of his death, something sounds even stranger: a bottle of rosé was on the dining table when he died. The only problem: Edgar loathed rosé. If he wasn’t drinking it, who was? After the police rule the death accidental, Rachel knows it’s up to her and her best friend Magda to investigate. As the two Americans immerse themselves in Edgar’s upper-class world, the list of suspects grows: Could it have been his son, who inherited his money and lavish apartment? His icy ex-wife? His greedy new girlfriend? His impoverished personal assistant? But when the suspects start dropping like flies, Rachel and Magda realize the murderer is tying up loose ends. It’ll be up to two amateur sleuths to solve their first case before the murderer decides they’re next...

It's been awhile since I have read a cozy mystery because I find them to be all over the place in terms of quality. I took a chance on this one though because of the Paris setting and I'm glad I did. This turned out to be a really fun, lighthearted mystery with enjoyable characters. American Rachel L......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on September 11, 2018

Sometimes I need a 'sherbert 'book between the heavy main courses in my reading life, something light and sweet and undemanding but entertaining. This month I tried out my first 'cozy mystery.' I thought they were merely mysteries without explicit gore and sex, a kind of anti-noir story. It turns ou......more

I'm on the fence a bit with this one. I really loved the setting. It's Paris, who wouldn't love it but I think I would rather have had all the characters be actually French. For me, making the majority Americans you may as well have set the book in a glorious part of America and there some. Having l......more
