Title: I wanted to like this book
Product review: I wanted to like this book. It had all the right characters, settings & historical venues, but it took advantage of none of these. The young female protagonist zips from one unbelievable scenario to another (I mean honestly, clammoring across slippery Paris roof tops in spike high heels? I can barely walk on a flat street in those puppies). And, what's with the dwarf assistant? That addition is just pure silliness.As with any plot set in Paris, the City itself must be a character, but this plot could have been executed in just about any city in Europe. It's not enough to drop the names of a couple of "Rues" & fancy cigarettes.I don't know if I'll read the sequels to this, her first, book.
