annarella 's review for:

Night Train to Paris by Fliss Chester
5.0

A tummy bug and a blog tour stop at the same time could produce a terrible review but I will try to write something rational and intelligible as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I loved A Dangerous Goodbye, an excellent start for a historical mystery series, and I loved Night Train to Paris.
We met again Fen and we are in Paris, just after the WWII ended.
This is a well written, engrossing and highly entertaining story that kept me hooked.
The historical background is one of the elements that fascinated me as I learned something new about arts stolen from Jews by Nazis and I loved how the author describes the places and the atmosphere.
The character development is excellent and I loved Rose, a great characters, and Fen. Fen is clever and likable character with a knack for puzzle.
This is one of those mystery that creates the scene for the murder and there's plenty of clues and backstory before you meet the victim. The mystery part is full of twists and turns and I liked the solution even if I guessed the culprit quite soon.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series, this one is highly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
