"Very clever writing and a fine sense of humor. The setting is Paris in 1923 and there are a lot of famous people there (Hemingway, Picasso, Gertrude Stein, and more ) who are woven into the story. Not much of a mystery, but fun to read." — Jo (4 out of 5 stars)

" This book made me hungry. Time to head to Paris for some Maison de Gyro! Or, actual French food. "
