The Paris Secret by Karen Swan
3.0

This was an interesting idea, it was just difficult to "get in to". Found myself skim reading it a lot, due to all the overly detailed descriptions if people's looks/clothing and the scene.
The plot was a good one (Nazi art found in an abandoned apartment in Paris) but felt that the book didn't know what it wanted to be, was it "chick lit", a mystery or what?
Also thought the sub-plot about the brother was just unnecessary, especially the initial mystery about what he was accused of.
