  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.
