6.12.2024 - The Paris Widow

The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing Park Row Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Kimberly Belle.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Adam and Stella are on their dream vacation overseas, when Adam goes back to the restaurant they were just at to retrieve his forgotten sunglasses.  Then an explosion rocks her world, and Adam is nowhere to be found.  Stella is desperate to find him and soon becomes famous as the Paris Widow for her pleas to the public.  Then she finds some clues in their hotel room that make her question how well she knows Adam.  But also, what secrets is Stella keeping from him?

Kimberly Belle is a must-read author for me, and this book proves just why.  From the opening explosion, this one just doesn't stop the action and suspense.  Plus, the international setting added another layer to the book.  It's a real cat and mouse game, as Stella chases down clues to Adam's disappearance and the secrets he's been keeping.  Loved the author's note at the end to highlight the real life black market sale of precious art and antiques, making this book feel all the more real.
