After an odd encounter at a grand masquerade ball, Lady Emily becomes embroiled in the murder investigation of one of the guests, a sometime actress trying to pass herself off as the mysterious heiress and world traveler Estella Lamar. Each small discovery, however, leads to more questions. Was the intended victim Miss Lamar or the imposter? And who would want either of them dead?

As Emily and Colin try to make sense of all this, a larger puzzle begins to emerge: No one has actually seen Estella Lamar in years, since her only contact has been through letters and the occasional blurry news photograph. Is she even alive? Emily and Colin's investigation of this double mystery takes them from London to Paris, where, along with their friend Cécile, they must scour the darkest corners of the city in search of the truth.

An amazing mystery set in Paris. I never saw how this one was going to end. Our sleuths also struggle as it’s a bizarre mystery to unravel.

One of her best!

I’m finding I don’t like the books that go back and forth between two stories. I hope it’s not a regular thing going forward.

Better than the Venice book

What a great twist on the highlights of Paris! And, of course, Tasha Alexander has spun another wonderful tale to keep us in suspense. Bravo!

First time author, that fits into the historical thriller genre. Tasha Alexander is one of several American authors I've come across in the last year that write mysteries set around the turn of the 19th century in London and Paris. I'm not sure what causes them to choose this time frame and geography, maybe an excuse to spend time there researching their stories. This book was set in both London and Paris and had some interesting twists. While not deeply suspenseful it was an interesting listen that was easy to stick with.

Unexpected and brilliant mystery that was disturbing to say the least and at times I just wanted to stop it.

I hope for a little more lightness in the next installment!

Chilling
