Moonlight Over Paris by Jennifer Robson and A Minute to Midnight by David Baldacci
Moonlight Over Paris is the third book in the series that began with Somewhere in France.
In the first book, ambulance driver Lilly fell in love with battlefield surgeon Robbie in France during WWI. In the second book, we find out what happened to Lilly's brother Edward, who was badly injured during the war, and her best friend Charlotte, who was a nurse during the war. In the third tome, we find out what happened to Edward's fiancee, Lady Helena. With her broken engagement causing her to be shunned by society and after almost dying from scarlet fever, Helena decides it's time to live the life she wants to live--and heads off to Paris to study art. She crosses paths with Ernest Hemingway and Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald as well as a handsome American writer working for a newspaper in Paris. Helena is a likeable heroine and you are cheering her on to find artistic and romantic success in the City of Love. I figured the next story would focus on fellow student Daisy Fields and I see that Robson has indeed written a short story that tells the rest of her story, All for the Love of You.
Over the holidays, I also finished A Minute to Midnight featuring FBI agent Atlee Pine, who was introduced in an earlier book by Baldacci. In this story, she takes time off to go back to her hometown to try to solve the mystery of what happened to her twin sister, Mercy, who disappeared when they were both small children. At the same time, she gets roped into working on a case involving a serial killer who is murdering people in her small hometown.As always, it's quite the page-turner, and the story ends leaving us wanting for more, setting up the next book in the series.
Happy New Year!
