Publisher Description
Not every door should be opened . . .
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.
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?

Pulled in
An unusual story that didn’t seem to coalesce at first, but it interested me enough to carry on until gradually, I found myself being pulled in, as if there was a magnetic force in the words. The story was so unusual and original and had so many twists and turns that I had to keep listening to find out what was coming next.
Grows on you
It took a couple of chapters to start getting into this story, but once I did, I was hooked until the end. To be honest I probably would not have read the paper book but the way it was so beautifully read kept me captivated. The reader, Katie Scarfe, perfectly rendered all the characters and vividly brought them to life. I would highly recommend this as an audio book.
