  A Fashionably French Murder

  American expat Tabitha Knight has found a new life in postwar Paris, along with a delightful friend in aspiring 
  chef Julia Child. Yet there are perils in peacetime too, as a killer infiltrates one of the city’s most famous fashion 
  houses. 
  If there’s one art the French have mastered as well as fine cuisine, it’s haute couture. Tabitha and Julia are 
  already accustomed to sampling the delights of the former. Now fashion is returning to the forefront in Paris, 
  as the somber hues of wartime are replaced by vibrant colors and ultra-feminine silhouettes, influenced by 
  Christian Dior’s “New Look.” 
  Tabitha and Julia join a friend for a private showing at an exclusive fashion atelier, Maison Lannet. The event 
  goes well, but when Tabitha returns later that evening to search for a lost glove, she finds the lights still on—and 
  the couturier dead, strangled by a length of lace. The shop manager suspects that a jealous rival—perhaps 
  Dior himself—committed the crime. Tabitha dismisses that idea, but when another body is found, it’s apparent 
  that someone is targeting employees of Maison Lannet. 
  Meanwhile, Tabitha’s Grand-père and Oncle Rafe are in the midst of their own design-related fracas, as 
  they squabble over how to decorate their new restaurant. And there are strange break-ins at a nearby shoe 
  store—but are the crimes related? It’s up to Tabitha to don her investigative hat and find answers before 
  someone commits another fatal fashion faux pas.

  Inspired by the remarkable life of Dorothy Peto, the Metropolitan Police’s first female superintendent. 
   
  Even in war, your enemies can linger too close to home … 
   
  While war and revolution continue to ravage Europe, Dorothy Peto embraces her new role at Scotland Yard as she and several detectives investigate a series of jewel thefts. Then Dorothy is tasked with assisting the inscrutable Inspector Derwent and the charming Colonel Cartier to find a missing French aristocrat.  
   
  Their enquiries take them to a country house in Yorkshire, that’s been converted to a hospital for wounded soldiers and was the last place the Frenchman visited.  
   
  However, the more questions they ask, the more questions they have. 
   
  When the body of a man suspected of being the marquis is discovered, the investigative team returns to London, but the dead man is a stranger. Dorothy speculates that the death, the jewel thefts and the missing Frenchman may be connected. She finds herself tangled in a web of conscientious objectors, Irish republicans and communist agitators, and not everyone is who they appear to be.

  To top off her coffee business, Sage is now helping out with her boyfriend Bax's gaming company. Conveniently for Sage, it's located next door to her Ground Rules Roastery. That makes it easy for her to pitch in with Bax's employee team-building event. The plan is to boost morale with a scavenger hunt. And it seems to be going well—until Robbie, a programmer known for being a prankster, turns up dead in Sage's roastery . . . 
   
   
   
  There are two suspects so far: Sage, who has no idea how the victim ended up in her space; and Bax, who was allegedly spotted arguing with Robbie the day before. But could it be a disgruntled employee? After all, Robbie's sense of humor was known to have rubbed some coworkers the wrong way. Now, it's up to Sage to find the culprit—before another life grinds to a halt.
