This book was a great read. Definitely kept me in suspense. Also I like how its a twist and turns and things that the reader wouldn’t expect.

Easy read that kept reading longer than normal. Like in life, this novel used the back drop of Paris, a murder and a theft, to keep the reader reading while all along driving the point that plans are made to be broken. Very entertaining while also believable.

Very entertaining

Diane wanted to do something different with her life. She quit her job and purchased a plane ticket to Paris. Planning to attend a costume ball, she became embroiled in a murder and theft of a jewel necklace. The police weren’t adequately looking for the perpetrators, so she got involved.

For those not in the know, the books by Blake Pierce that are churned out so quickly are written by a collective group of authors that don’t edit their works. Whoever wrote this installment did a better job than most. Good read but only one error that I caught. Insurance “broken” rather than broker.

same fluffy mystery with chubby female focused on food. at least there were no recipes. another "soft" woman butting into police investigations with no consequences. same story different setting.

I searched up dogs and this stupid book came up. If you read it your prob as dumb as the main character, many comments said, Diana? I guess her name is was very dumb and stupid

The main character and storyline is ridiculous.

Story line makes you keep reading. Loved it!

I Love Diana. But how did she age 3 years in two weeks? She was 52 in this book. The #2 book says she is 55! Come on, y’all lets stay on track. I will keep reading of course❗️

The heroine wasn’t very likeable. Maybe after she grows a backbone I could read this series. Her daughter was insufferable. Her boss was beyond selfish as was her ex. And she just took it all.

Starts out interesting, but the plot was somewhat predictable

Decently written but naively plotted. After having published a skillion books, surely an author should do better than this.

It was fast paced, fun, and loved the bits a France intertwined.

If you want a simple mystery keep it local and it might work. But if you set something in Paris, at least google the locations so you know how long it takes to travel from the city to Versailles. And if you are going to include French phrases, get a real French speaker to proof them. Poor research takes away from everything else. This story would have worked much better set in a BnB in a small town no one knew.

I found the book quite easy to read, and I wanted to come back to it consistently until I finished. I would love to have seen a couple of supporting characters more fleshed out, but maybe in the next installment.

Terrible! If I could give it zero stars I would. I struggled through half of it, with the main character - supposedly a mature, intelligent, accomplished executive - rhapsodizing ditzily about Paris, romance, and dreaming about rekindling a relationship with a man she hadn’t seen in thirty years. A Murder in Paris?? This is a romance novel, period, and unbelievable at that, filled with every negative stereotype about France and the French, from body odor to rudeness to smoke-filled restaurants. The author’s descriptions of Parisian geography (strolling from la Sainte Chapelle to Notre Dame, taking a wrong turn and winding up at Pere Lachaise Cemetery?) and her misspelled French phrases made me wonder if she has ever even been to Paris. After way too many pages of pounding heartbeats and heaving breasts, with no murder (or believable characters) in sight, I finally gave up. My only consolation is that it was a free download.

Interesting turn of events when a overly organized woman decided to quit her job and try to find her first love

Loved the characters. Well written with a good flow. Kept wanting to get back to reading. My idea is a book that makes me want to take time out from the world & get lost in the characters and their lives.
