Beschreibung

With stunning locations and page-turning tension, The Paris Secret is an intense and gripping tale from bestselling author Karen Swan, the perfect escapism for fans of Santa Montefiore.

Not every door should be opened . . .

Somewhere along the cobbled streets of Paris, an apartment lies thick with dust and secrets: full of priceless artworks hidden away for decades.

High-flying fine art agent Flora from London, more comfortable with the tension of a million-pound auction than a cosy candlelit dinner for two, is called in to assess these suddenly discovered treasures. As an expert in her field, she must trace the history of each painting and discover who has concealed them for so long.

Thrown in amongst the glamorous Vermeil family as they move between Paris and Antibes, Flora begins to discover that things aren’t all that they seem, while back at home her own family is recoiling from a seismic shock. The terse and brooding Xavier Vermeil seems intent on forcing Flora out of his family’s affairs – but just what is he hiding?

'The next best thing to jumping on the Eurostar and being there' – Chris Manby, author of Three Days in Florence

'Escaping into a world of art, beauty and heartbreaking history, I was caught on page one and didn’t put it down until I finished it' – Liz Fenwick, author of The Cornish House

2.5 Thanks to Netgalley and Pan McMillan for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have been pretty excited to read another book by Karen Swan because over the past years I became a big fan of her books and her writing. The premise of this book was also very intriguing: a hidden apartment, closed over lots of years, filled with rare paintings and artefacts. The beginning of the book was also very interesting and mysterious. I really wanted to find out what it is all about. Unfortunately I got bored with the details about the paintings and its buyers really quickly. The story could never grab me and I found it dragging more and more. There wasn't very much happening either. It was also very hard to connect with the characters and I had some troubles following all the names. The love story came way too quickly and I couldn't feel it at all. The atmosphere of the book was really amazing, especially in the beginning. All the mysteries, secrets and what was hidden in the apartment was pretty fascinating but unfortunately it couldn't hold my interest throughout the book. This book leaves me very disappointed as I had very high hopes about this book. I will definetely keep reading Karen Swan's books though.
