BOOK TOUR
I'm thrilled to be a stop on the blog tour for author
Daryl Wood Gerber
and
Book 1 in the French Bistro Mysteries
A DEADLY ΓCLAIR
It’s always been Mimi Rousseau’s dream to open her own bistro, but it seems beyond her grasp since she’s been chased back home to Nouvelle Vie in Napa Valley by her late husband’s tremendous debt. Until her best friend Jorianne James introduces her to entrepreneur Bryan Baker who invests in promising prospects. Now, working the bistro and inn until she’s able to pay it off and call it her own, Mimi is throwing the inn’s first wedding ever.
The wedding will be the talk of the town, as famous talk show host Angelica Edmonton, daughter of Bryan’s half-brother, Edison, has chosen the inn as her perfect venue. Anxious, Mimi is sure things are going to turn south, especially when Edison gets drunk and rowdy at the out-of-towners’ dinner, but by the evening, things begin to look up again. That is until six AM rolls around, and Bryan is found dead at the bistro with an Γ©clair stuffed in his mouth. And the fingers point at Mimi, whose entire loan is forgiven in Bryan’s will.
Now it’s up to Mimi to clear her name and get to the bottom of things before the killer turns up the heat again in A Deadly Γclair, the scrumptious series debut by Agatha Award-winning author Daryl Wood Gerber.

C’est
fantastique!
I’m always excited, yet a little apprehensive when
I start a new series. Especially if that series is by an author I already love
to read. What if I don’t like it? Well, I had no reason at all for concern with
author Daryl Wood Gerber’s first book in her French Bistro Mysteries. As with
all of her past books, I was quickly drawn in, and totally absorbed it this
wonderful tale!
Right from the start I was rooting for
protagonist, Mimi Rousseau, and her new bistro. Through author Gerber’s
magnificent writing, I felt Mimi’s emotions along with her. Her excitement and
nervousness over making the bistro and inn a success, her heartbreak when she
discovers her mentor dead, and her angst at being the suspect in his murder.
I’ve never felt so many emotions in just a few chapters of a book!
A DEADLY ΓCLAIR got better and better with every
word. With a magnificent plot, great characters, and fabulous setting, I didn’t
stop turning pages until the story was done. Even then I went back and re-read
the exciting reveal. I was as stunned as I was the first time I read it.
Also included in A DEADLY ΓCLAIR are 15 amazing
recipes, some of which include the gluten free versions!
