A dream vacation turns deadly when secrets from the past catch up to a married couple in Paris in this new edge-of-your-seat thriller from USA Today bestselling author, Kimberly Belle.

When Stella met Adam, she thought she had finally found a nice, normal guy—a welcome change from her previous boyfriend and her precarious jetsetter lifestyle with him. But her secure world comes crashing down when Adam goes missing after an explosion in the city square. Unable to reach him, she panics.

As the French police investigate, it’s revealed that Adam was on their radar as a dealer of rare and stolen antiquities with a long roster of criminal clients. Reeling from this news, Stella is determined not to leave Paris until she has the full story. Was Adam a random victim or the target of the explosion? And why is someone following her through the streets of Paris?

An irresistible, fast-paced read set in some of Europe’s most inviting locales, The Paris Widow explores how sinister secrets of the past stay with us—no matter how far we travel.

Annoying narrator

Not a bad story, but the female narrator is SO annoying. She reads everything so breathy and dramatic, it gets very old. I got to the point where I was skipping ahead in order to get past whatever she was saying. It made the main character seem like an idiot and the book very hard to get through.

Narration a bit too shrill

Simple story with twist coincidence toward the end. Loved hearing about places in Paris and elsewhere in Europe. Listened to it quickly and felt narration by Stella was too loud and breathy. Male narration better.

It was just good not amazing

I love Kimberly Belle, but this was probably my least favorite of her books. It was still good, but it was a little predictable and I agree that the narrator was awful.

excellent and surprising. plot.

it ended too quickly I thought I had an hour left. though I liked it, I was confused at the ending. too many words to write this review. 😜

Love the twists and turns

Good story, with many unexpected twists and turns. Female narrator was annoying, far too overly dramatic.
