The Paris Widow

This is a fun read-it-in-a-day thriller set in Paris. (The setting was my favorite part, I felt like I was right there!) Stella is on vacation with her husband, Adam, when a massive explosion takes place in the square. She survives, but cannot find Adam anywhere. As she races around, trying to find him and figure out what happened, she learns that Adam was keeping secrets and may have been the target of the explosion. The French authorities tell her that he was stealing rare antiques and selling them to a roster of criminal clients. Another source tells her that he was forging these items. Stella is not sure who to believe. Was her beloved, down-to-earth antique store-owning husband a random victim, or was something more sinister at play? She can’t reconcile it, and can’t believe that the man she loved may have done such terrible things. Stella won’t leave Paris until she figures out what happened to her husband. To do so, she must put her own life in danger as she confronts both her own past and her husband’s potentially shadowy actions.
