Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
At the outset of Meiers lively 21st Lucy Stone mystery (after 2013s Christmas Carol Murder), Norah Hemming, the hostess of a daytime TV show in Tinkers Cove, Maine, rewards Lucy and three of her friends for their charitable fund-raising efforts with a free trip to Paris, complete with lessons at Le Cooking School from famous pastry chef Larry Bruneau. Adding to Lucys delight is the opportunity to spend time with her oldest daughter, Elizabeth, who works as a concierge at Pariss posh Cavendish Hotel. The four friends plus husbands enjoy the usual tourist activities, until Lucy finds Larry stabbed and barely clinging to life in his classroom. The stakes rise after Elizabeths shady roommate vanishes. Those who can overlook the preposterous plot developments will have fun, even if this outing isnt up to Meiers usual standard.
