Baldwin Boettcher Evening Book Club

Title to be discussed:  A Dish Taken Cold, by Anne Perry.  Time of meeting:  Monday, November 5, at 6:30 pm.  Summary:  Edgar Award-winning novelist Anne Perry turns her unerring historical eye to Paris 1792.  Revolution is yielding to the Terror, and the city is hungry--for justice, for vengeance, for bread.  So, too, is Celie Deleure, a servant in the household of the celebrated Madame de Stael, when her infant son suffers an inexplicable death while in the care of a trusted friend.  This tightly plotted, well-crafted novella, at 73 pages, is a refreshing diversion for a winter evening.
