Stolen antiquities, a journey through Europe and bombing: The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle is your next thrilling read.

By SARA VANDEN BERGE

I was between books.

I finished Beneath the Book Club’s June read, Malibu Rising, and needed something new to delve into before I start on July’s.

The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle was a BookTok favorite, and since I am familiar with the author (I also read Stranger in the Lake and loved it) I decided to download it to my Kindle.

And I’m so glad I did!

The Paris Widow is a fantastic thriller that will take you on a journey through Europe, a bombing and true love.

If you like a good thriller as much as I do, give this a read.

 Here’s what Amazon has to say about it:

“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.”
