The French Bistro Mystery is a two-book series from 2017 and 2018. A Deadly Eclair and A Souffle of Suspicion are set in a French bistro in Napa Valley, combining the culinary mystery formula with wine country atmosphere. The French cooking setting lets Gerber bring in pastry terms and kitchen drama.
The series is a compact offering for readers who enjoy food-themed cozies with a specific culinary focus. The Napa Valley setting adds a touch of sophistication compared to the small-town cheese shop and cookbook store of Gerber’s other series.
