Georgia Lee felt that things were not going the way that she wanted so she made the decision to move to Paris, France. Leaving behind a job that wanted her to apologize for something that she was not responsible for, a boyfriend that was driving her crazy and no excitement in her life. After arranging with a friend, Loretta to write The Paris Patter with the magazine Good Look she was off.Arriving in Paris was not really what she thought it would be, raining and dreary. The apartment was nothing like what she had left and NO closets! She had promised that she would contact a friend of a friend and just maybe she would give up and return home. Her and her cat, Twinkle were not exactly happy with this change. Twinkle would not even come out from under the bed.Finding Kitty (the friend of the friend) turned out to be just the thing she needed to make her stay. Kitty was very flamboyant and they hit it off together. Georgia Lee was going to stay! Kitty had been offered to do an profile on an Art Restorer with a healthy paycheck but she was to busy to take it on so she offered it to Georgia Lee. Now this was not really up her alley but the paycheck and the fact that Loretta was a miser she ended up in a cab with Clive Overton on their way to the Musee Bellefroide museum where he was to inspect an Altarpiece with water damage. After Overton's insistence that Georgia Lee accompany him into the museum over the protesting of the director, Bernard Mallet they proceeded to the basement where the Altarpiece was stored. A moment after entering three people burst violently into the room and they were forced to the floor face down. Only a moment later she heard the shot. She had witnessed a murder and the theft of the Mirror that had belonged to Nostradamus!This is a very well developed story line that flows from page one to the unbelievable last page. I could not put the book down and was hard pressed to figure out who done it. Of course, you guessed it, it was a shocker. The twists and turns and the ups and downs will keep you guessing all the way through. The characters are amazing and full of descriptive details. I fell in love with Georgia Lee and Twinkie, they both lead with all the emotions, plenty of laughter, some sexy looking guys, a kidnapping, the getaway, some righteous anger and a little bit of love. Ms. Thompson has a way with the descriptions of the areas that the her story take place at, she made me feel like I was there. I have had the honor of reading other books that she has penned and she did not let me down on the town descriptions. You will be involved the minute you start till you lay it down the mystery and intrigue. Don't miss out and get your copy today.
