Summary

Paris, 1949. It’s been five years since the war ended. The City of Light is only just beginning to rediscover its joie de vivre. Americans are arriving in droves, including the fiercely independent former reporter Kat Kelly and her husband, a hotshot foreign correspondent. Forced out of journalism by the old boys’ club, the tenacious Kat has moved on to pursue her love for French cuisine. But this new chapter turns deadly when she finds the bloody body of an American classmate, Toby.

Critics Review

Praise for The Foreign Correspondent’s Wife:
“For fans of both Agatha Christie and Julia Child, The Foreign Correspondent’s Wife is an atmospheric, charged, and charming grand gâteau of a novel. The vividly evoked 1950s Parisian setting is glamorous, and its juxtaposition against the shadows of the Occupation adds gravitas. A delicious page-turner with a delightful new heroine who proves that, for many, the war never truly ended.”
—Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
