Bailedbailed

This takes place during the 1889 Paris Exposition. The protagonist is a bookseller/amateur detective. I stopped halfway through when he spies on a woman he‘s become obsessed with and sees her hugging and laughing with another man. He declares she‘s a whore then a few pages later purchases a nude painting she posed for. I nearly threw the book across the room! Hard to believe written by two women; something was definitely lost in translation.

I finished my last #lmpbc book for this round a few days ago. I‘ll get it in the mail early next week when I get back from my honeymoon. I liked this one but it took awhile to get going and I didn‘t like many of the characters. I did end up wanting to know #whodunit though and I did not figure it out before the end. @Jerdencon @robinb @Bookwormjillk

I read this first in series in my #LMPBC GroupM for Round 9. I had read number 6 in #whodunitthesequel and was glad to go back to the beginning with this one. Unfortunately neither book did much for me. While the mystery was good, I didn‘t really care for the characters, and the writing didn‘t flow smoothly, with some abrupt changes in place/narrative (which could have been due to translation issues). 3/5⭐️

Starting my last #lmpbc #round9 book tonight. It looks as though this will be the book I‘m in the middle of when we get married next Saturday. I do love a good mystery and this one looks fantastic!

Got done with work on time, and moved to the porch with a mug of tea. Rain just started. These are the days that make telecommuting seem like a really good idea.
