4.0

The Paris Widow is a fun mystery with a unique premise. While at first the plot was a little cliche, as you learn more about the characters, particularly Stella, the story gets a lot more interesting. Stella does come across as a little naive for someone in her situation, but it doesn’t take away from rooting for her to figure out what happened to Adam. The pace of the story starts out very slow, but picks up a little over halfway. If you’re looking for a fun Parisian adventure/mystery read, I’d recommend this one.
