Another delightful book in this series. I loooooved a look into the couture fashion industry in this book. From the descriptions of the stunning designs (so well done) to meeting and getting to know the mannequins who got to wear them.  I love how the characters in this series jump off the page and they quickly become like a family for Tabitha. And of course Julia Child is her fabulous, exuberant self, making the most mouth watering dishes. Who knew reading about making crepes would be so fascinating. The story also focuses quite a bit on the aftermath of WWII and confronting the fact that so many French collaborated with the Germans (and the many degrees and opinions on that). It is not something I have read extensively about and I so appreciated reading about people's feelings and how passionate the French about the resistance.  This is a heavy and important topic and I love how it was incorporated and not shied away from in this cozy. I was shocked by the man turn of events and completely smitten with a certain alleycat.

I adore this series and already cannot wait for more!

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC; my thoughts and review are my own.
