I bought this expecting it be a Mary Russell novel. I was only disappointed for an instant because this novel is fabulous. Set in Paris during the artistic explosion that followed the first world war, Stuyvesant is searching for a missing girl but stumbles into a mystery that is much larger than he imagined. Mixing real people, such as Man Ray and Earnest Hemingway, with a cast of fascinating totally fictional characters, the novel keeps you guessing and totally engaged to the very end. Beautifully written with an eye for detail, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I would highly recommend this book.
