Class/Genre:   Mystery   Cozy   Woman Main Character
Berkley Prime Crime, Jul 2000, $5.99 217 pp.

This is the first of this series that I've read. It won't be the last. I truly enjoyed this cozy series. The two main characters are Hillary and Jane. Hillary is a Southern Belle who is rich. She is a decorator but cooks too. Jane is a single mom who can't cook or decorate but works for Hillary. They are fun together and get into all sorts of messes.

In this book they go to the south of France so Hillary cn attend a prestigious cooking school. Hillary wants to rent a house that is expensive (even for her) so she gets other people from their Alabama town to go to France with her. Of course there are murders and Hillary and Jane are in the thick of things but end up solving the murders.

I actually wondered about the people who ended up being involved. I didn't solve it exactly but was on the right track. I can't wait to read the other books in this series: Deathday Party and Leading an Elegant Death.
