Frances and George enjoying a quiet interlude in Paris, away from family for much deserved leisure time. Cut short with an enquiry re a young man, a potential suitor for the daughter of family friends.
This was the beginning of the story where Carlson Deaver, master of the double life is slowly uncovered, a dead wife miraculously reappears, complicated liaisons under the pretext of respectability, and all the hypocrisy of double standards of the Victorian age are uncovered.
Very nicely told as a story, several strands of the lives of diverse people are brought together in a tale of murder and mystery galore.

I'm always on the lookout for books set in Paris.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I really like titles like this and instantly want to see what they are able. I am glad you enjoyed Dianne Freeman's book. I've been wanting to read her work.
