The cover of this book drew me right in. It led me to think that this would be an enjoyable read and indeed it was. There was also the title as I always think it is fun to visit Paris (even fictionally).
This book is the seventh in a long running series that began with 2018’s A Lady’s Guide to Etiquette and Murder. Those who are familiar with this historical traditional mystery series will be delighted to meet up with old friends while new readers can start here and then perhaps go back to book number one.
This time Frances and George are traveling to see the 1900 Exhibition. They are also there to visit George’s Aunt Julia. Of course, their trip will not be straightforward or peaceful.
Julia tells Frances and George that an artist that she loved was killed. Something happens to Julia as well (no spoiler so no more).
George and Frances are left with much to investigate and many suspects. This makes for detection and fun for the reader.
Those who enjoy historical mysteries such as those by Anna Lee Huber will want to take a look at this one.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
