The Ghosts of Paris
Book Feature - The Ghosts of Paris by Tara Moss
HBL Note: Tara Moss is an internationally bestselling author and I’ve featured her previous novel, The War Widow, on this blog along with an author interview. In addition to writing, she is also a “UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, podcast and TV host, vintage model, and in the past few years, an outspoken advocate for disability rights, using her own experience with CRPS to push for inclusion.” She is perfect for fans of Fiona Davis with the way she merges mystery and historical fiction. We met Australian P.I. Billie Walker in The War Widow and she’s back in the GHOSTS OF PARIS with an even bigger case. Scroll down to read more
From the publisher:
It’s 1947. The world continues to grapple with the fallout of the Second World War, and former war reporter Billie Walker is finding her feet as an investigator. When a wealthy client hires Billie and her assistant Sam to track down her missing husband, the trail leads Billie back to London and Paris, where Billie’s own painful memories also lurk. Jack Rake, Billie's wartime lover and, briefly, husband, is just one of the millions of people who went missing in Europe during the war. What was his fate after they left Paris together?
As Billie's search for her client's husband takes her to both the swanky bars at Paris's famous Ritz hotel and to the dank basements of the infamous Paris morgue, she'll need to keep her gun at the ready, because something even more terrible than a few painful memories might be following her around the city of lights . . .
