OK first, there a scene where two characters make out after being tear gassed and I'm upset because this happened to me IRL and I was saving it for MY novel! It's really bizarre to kiss someone who's just been tear gassed! Anyway,

Fun enough! Paris, weird Succession-style family, Eyes Wife Shut-esque night club, a whippet named Benoit, lots of incidental French, murder, mystery, pastries. Agatha Christie locked room style like Foley does well. I would like a whippet, a croissant, and a cigarette now please.
