April on Paris Street is about a young private investigator of half-Abenaki heritage who takes a case that looks like a damsel-in-distress rescue but that then turns into something completely different and much more dangerous. The narrative weaves working class Ashley Smeeton's personal story into the story of the privileged young woman whose husband hires her, within the frame of a layered mystery plot.
The book was a slow start for me, and I thought the narrative was overly descriptive. I ended up scanning much of it to move the story along. This book definitely falls into the literary category.
