Summary: HIGHLY READABLE MULTI-LAYERED MYSTERY
Review: Think 1920's, the Left Bank, Hemingway, prolonged erudite discussions over bottles of wine, and you've set the scene for what is billed as "A Mystery Of Literary Paris."Mike Ward, a Canadian journalist, arrives in this wannabe mecca eager to be a part of the scene. He meets and befriends Jason Waddington (this is where you think Hemingway) who is quick to include Mike in a select coterie of writers, artists, and world weary types. It seems there's also a murderer ala Jack the Ripper roaming those dimly lit streets. The killer has a penchant for fatally stabbing beautiful women. When gorgeous Laure Duclos, with whom Mike has been having a romantic encounters, falls victim, Mike has a theory of his own. As Mike begins an investigation of his own, café rumor has it that Waddington's latest book is a thinly disguised roman a clef, a character besmirching study of his friends. A highly readable multi-layered mystery
