From a Paris Balcony

22 #93 The final book in this series. I didn‘t care for this one as much as the other two. I listened on Audible so I‘m not sure if it was the narrator or what. But I simply did not connect to protagonist. And I was not invested in her love interest. The plot was interesting, but character development was lacking.

From a Paris Balcony | Ella Carey

This HF alternates between 2 story lines—1895 and 2015 in Paris. MC rents Marthe de Florian‘s Belle Époque apt for the summer to investigate the alleged suicide of her great great aunt in 1895 in a fall from a balcony near Florian‘s place. What she discovers is fascinating ?

Eggs @Rachel_nyc might be a good reading challenge—books set in Paris! 6y

Rachel_nyc @Eggs oh I love that idea!! 6y

Eggs @Rachel_nyc I wonder how many Paris novels there are these days. Ella Carey is known for and loves anything Paris-related 6y

Rachel_nyc @Eggs I feel like there are always a few new ones I‘m looking forward to. Recently I read French Exit, The Great Believers and Dictionary of Animal Languages which had great Paris passages and one for sure I plan to read this year is The Rain Watcher which is the new one from the author of Sarah‘s Key (another great one set in Paris!)
