Allons-y to Paris for more hats and homicide from the New York Times bestselling author of Copy Cap Murder!

London milliner Vivian Tremont and her American cousin and partner, Scarlett Parker, tip their caps to their beloved shop on Portobello Road in Notting Hill and set off for Paris, where Viv can't wait to teach a hat-making class. But she has another reason to travel to the City of Light: to find the man she impulsively eloped with years ago and have their marriage annulled.

William Graham is not only handsome and charming, but he also has a glamorous job as an insurance investigator who works with priceless pieces of art, most recently a small Renoir that has been discovered in a junk shop. But when both Will and the masterpiece suddenly disappear, it's up to the ladies from London to follow the trail of clues. They'll need to hold on to their chapeaux, however, because someone is a master in the art of deception...

Review

Praise for New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay's Hat Shop Mysteries

"Fancy hats and British aristocrats make this my sort of delicious cozy read."--Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of the Royal Spyness Mysteries

"A delicious romp through my favorite part of London with a delightful new heroine."--Deborah Crombie, New York Times bestselling author

"The sharp writing and smart plotting are outstanding, and the surprising reveal and even more suspenseful chase will have readers at the edge of their seats. This stellar mystery sets a high bar for mysteries."--Kings River Life Magazine

"Brimming with McKinlay's trademark wit and snappy one-liners, Anglophiles will love this thoroughly entertaining new murder mystery series. A hat trick of love, laughter, and suspense, and another feather in [Jenn McKinlay's] cap."--Hannah Dennison, author of the Vicky Hill Exclusive! Mysteries

About the Author

A true Anglophile, New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay loves all things British. In her idea of a perfect world, every day would include high tea or wearing a fabulous hat, or both. This adoration of all things U.K. inspired her to write the Hat Shop Mysteries, which are set in London, one of her most favorite cities in the world. She now gets to visit there regularly--for research purposes of course.

In addition to being the author of the Hat Shop Mysteries, including Copy Cap Murder and At the Drop of a Hat. Jenn also writes the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries and the Library Lover's Mysteries.

Hoping this series will carry on!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and I am greatly disappointed that it won't be continued. I have read one of Jenn McKinlay's 'A Library Lover's Mystery' and also one of 'Cupcake Bakery Mystery' - but they don't hold a candle to this series. The mystery is great, and the characters are fun people that one would want to know in real life. Jenn McKinlay has a great writing style, in my opinion, and I would recommend this series to anyone who likes mysteries, especially ones set in England. The dialogue between the characters is engaging, and I especially like Scarlet and Viv and their Mim's Whims hat shop. The book is enjoyable on all fronts, from mystery to humour to the relationship between the friends... and a little romance thrown in makes it just that much more fun! I hope she continues carrying on this series... I will miss it. Read all the books in just over a few weeks.

Good but I liked the previous four more

In this novel Viv and Scarlett go to Paris, Viv to teach a hat making class while Scarlett finds Viv's husband - I liked the novels that were bits of England better than this jaunt into Paris, it didn't feel as homey - lots of adventure as somehow the whole gang ends up in Paris with Scarlett and Viv to help solve a murder and mystery - Finally Scarlett and Harrison say the L word so they're off to get married

Fitting end to series

Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2017

London milliner Vivian Tremont and her cousin Scarlett Parker are in Paris for two reasons -Vivian is teaching a hat making class while Scarlett looks for Viv’s husband Will so Viv can seek an annulment of their marriage. Vivian thinks she is ready to move on with her life, perhaps to Alistair Turner, but when she sees Will again she isn’t so sure. Viv barely has time to being to process her feelings when both Will and a small Renoir disappear. Viv and Scarlet are convinced that Will is in serious danger and set out to find him, little realizing that they too could be in danger.

“Assault and Beret” is the fifth and unfortunately last book in Jenn McKinlay's Hat Shop cozy mystery series. It is a shame the series is ending because I feel like the characters were just hitting their stride and this book develops the characters even more. I did miss the hat shop setting in this book as this book takes place in Paris, but all the favorite characters in the series managed to end up in Paris - which I loved because it is indeed the characters that made the series work so well. Viv especially has grown as a character - she can be a bit of a feather brain at times but her struggle to deal with her relationship with both her husband and Alistair is very realistically done. Compared to the Viv/Will/Alistair storyline, the Scarlet/Harrison storyline with her decision not to date for a year is a bit lightweight but it does wrap up very nicely - I just loved something that happens towards the end of the book! As for the mystery itself - it is well done. A few things did seem obvious at first but McKinlay threw in a few nice twists so things weren't as obvious as at first they seemed to be. There are a few nice tense moments towards the end of the book that kept me on the edge of my seat while I was reading it. All in all, I loved the ending of this book and the way the series was wrapped up.

I am not quite ready to let these characters go and I wish the series was not ending, but unfortunately it is and “Assault and Beret” is a good way of wrapping up a cozy mystery series that will be missed.
