Why read it?
1 author picked French Ghost as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was anxious to experience all the excitement, romance, sights, and flavors of Paris, but I couldn’t leave the country.

So, if a Parisian adventure is the same dream for you as it was for me, say Bon Jour to this gem and off you go. Au Voir.
From Susie's list on Susie Black's favorite funny cozy mysteries with protagonists who are away from home.
