Pip Drysdale is just one of the Authors whose entire backlist is sitting on my shelf unread! Well not for much longer! I started off with her third novel, The Paris Affair and it did not disappoint.

Pip's writing style instantly drew me in with the blips of french spoken throughout only elevating the atmospheric setting of Paris further. I was surprised to learn about the darker side of the city of love, and how a missing person case is rarely investigated unless there is signs of foul play.

I really enjoyed Harper's first-person narrative. She's a little jaded when it comes to love but is a strong and gutsy female MC willing to take risks to get to the truth. I mean, she loves crime podcasts, carries around a lock picking set, and knows how to escape from the boot of a car. My girl Harper is prepared for real life 👏

While the first half of the book is slower in pace as it sets up the characters & the mystery at hand, it picks up in the second half with everything coming together in quick succession.

Oo and I discovered something really cool while reading too, the Instagram account mentioned in the book @new.girlinparis actually exists! Such a clever touch 👏

I definitely connected with Pip's writing style and am super excited to be starting Pip's new release, THE NEXT GIRL with a few booksta besties today.
