Colleen Cambridge, author of Mastering the Art of French Murder at Boswell

Thursday, May 18th, 6:30 p.m.

Boswell welcomes author Colleen Cambridge for her latest, Mastering the Art of French Murder, a magnifique new historical mystery series starring Julia Child’s (fictional) best friend, combining a fresh perspective on the iconic chef’s years in post-WWII Paris with a delicious mystery and a unique culinary twist.

Colleen Cambridge is the bestselling author of the American in Paris Mysteries and the Phyllida Bright Mysteries, the first of which, Murder at Mallowan Hall, was an Indie Next Pick and Agatha Award finalist. An accomplished historian whose meticulously researched novels appeal to fans of historical fiction and mysteries alike, she also writes under the pennames C.M. Gleason and Colleen Gleason.

Sing in Spring: Cabaret Short Course!

Charles Trenet

One of France’s most popular singers from the late 1930s to mid-1950s, Charles Trenet was a prolific recording artist with more than a thousand songs in his catalogue. Famous for songs such as “Boum!” and “La Mer”, he wrote and recorded only his own songs in a career that spanned until the 1990s. Colette, famed French author, referred to him as "the provincial genius who gives lessons in happiness to Paris." 

Cabaret May 19th in person at 7 p.m. at the AF.
