The Paris Affair

"""Marshall's effervescent debut. [She] laces the novel's first half with delightful characterizations and rich historical detail, then ratchets up the pace in the second, delivering a barrage of well-earned reveals. Francophiles, take note: this steamy slice of romantic suspense is tr�s bien.""--Publishers Weekly ""Bold, intricate, and as deftly constructed as the contested tower at the center of its plot, The Paris Affair is a marvel. With a keen eye for both historical detail and the frailties of the human heart, Marshall builds the perfect balance of mystery and love story around a young man's quest to secure a future, delving into questions of longing, loss, and what it means to live one's truth; of what truly makes a family--and a home.""--Rose Sutherland, author of A Sweet Sting of Salt ""Filled with mystery and danger, The Paris Affair is a seductive journey through the glamour and shadows of nineteenth-century Paris."" --Kelly Bowen, author of The Paris Apartment ""In The Paris Affair, Maureen Marshall has created an evocative, intriguing story set in the historical shadow of the iconic Eiffel tower. In a world of aristocrats, dancers and the demi-monde, where reputation is everything and love is just another commodity to be bought and sold, Marshall tells the story of a young man's determination to build his own destiny, and in doing so protect the curious family of outcasts and misfits who gather around him.""--Emily Hourican, author of The Glorious Guinness Girls"
