Death in the Latin Quarter by Raphael Cardetti.
Another history/adventure novel. Quite liked it, especially since it is set in Paris (I was there last year in June) and it was so cool to reminisce about that time. Definitely both well-written and a page-turner.
There are some annoyances though, such as everyone vaguely attractive in Paris having ‘artfully tousled hair’, LOL.
Just finished “I capture the castle” by Dodie Smith.
I love this book! It is wonderfully smart, and very endearing. I think I would like to read it again at some point in time.
