Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy historical mysteries set in 1950s Paris with cosy undertones and a touch of the supernatural.
  • You're drawn to strong female protagonists who solve crimes whilst navigating their personal lives and family secrets.
  • You like series with recurring characters and a slow-burn romantic subplot that doesn't overshadow the puzzle itself.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced thrillers where the mystery drives every scene rather than meandering explorations of post-war Parisian life.
  • You want graphic violence or gritty procedural details. This is genteel mystery territory.
  • You're reading book four in a series and expect the author to catch you up quickly. You'll want to start with book one.

About this book

Tabitha Knight, living in postwar Paris, has befriended fellow expat and Cordon Bleu student Julia Child. When a woman claiming to be a medium named Madame Vierca appears at her grandfather's rue de l'Université mansion warning of danger to Grand-père and Oncle Rafe, Tabitha dismisses the encounter as odd. However, events soon take a darker turn. Grand-père and Oncle Rafe host a soiree at their new restaurant to honor the Nine Bluets, a Resistance network from the war. A vase on the dinner table displays nine blue flowers to commemorate the group. That night, one of Grand-père's old friends is found dead on the street, and one flower is missing from the vase. When a second member of the Nine Bluets is discovered poisoned the next day with a bluet flower left at the body, Tabitha becomes convinced Madame Vierca's warnings may have merit. Tabitha shares her fears with Inspecteur Merveille, and together they investigate. Their search leads them through dangerous areas of the Left Bank as they race to identify a killer before the remaining members of the Nine Bluets—including Grand-père and Oncle Rafe—become targets.
