Publisher's summary

She thinks love can kill you. It turns out she might be right. The dark and sexy new thriller from the bestselling author of The Sunday Girl and The Strangers We Know. 

Harper Brown is an expert at picking locks, breaking her way out of car boots, and talking her way out of trouble, and she could run a masterclass on escaping relationships—her record for losing a guy is three minutes flat. She’s addicted to true crime podcasts and is the genius behind a micro-column called "How to Not Get Murdered".

After having her heart broken helping her ex follow his dreams, Harper has moved to Paris to fulfill hers. She’s talked her way into a job as an arts journalist, a stepping stone to her dream role as an investigative journalist. All she has to do is whatever it takes to get there. But then one night she meets the artist Noah X, and everything she thinks she knows is turned upside down.

Soon Harper finds herself entangled in a web of lies, hot on the trail of a murderer and the scoop of a lifetime. This is the story that could make her career—if the killer doesn’t catch her first.

Critic reviews

"A book that both utilises and critiques the trope of the murdered woman in the crime genre. . . . this was a thought provoking and difficult to put down novel that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend." The AU Review

"The tension and pace escalate . . . and all the red-herrings and breadcrumbs subtly dropped along the journey coalesce, delivering a gripping conclusion. An entertaining tale of mystery and suspense." Booklover

"A fast-paced and heart-stopping ride, packed with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes right to the end. Gripping, suspenseful and seriously addictive, The Paris Affair is yet another tantalising page-turner from the wonderful Pip Drysdale." Better Reading

Boring

I really hate to give a bad review but I really didn't enjoy this. I tried very hard; I listened all the way through! It is not a thriller. perhaps a drama. A very slow one with little pay off. Disappointed.

Warning! You won't be able to stop listening!

Absolutely loved this third book from Pip Drysdale. "The Paris Affair" is my favourite to date. Totally entertained by the intelligent, quirky and brutally honest Harper Brown. And wow! The narration by the author was perfect. No-one could do Harper greater justice. One of those books that you have to keep reading but that you also don't want to finish too soon. Decided to pace myself to make it last longer but seriously couldn't wait to get into the car so I could keep listening. Such a great plot interwoven with creativity, art, culture, passion, love, loss, desperation, fear, crime, manipulation, humour and some messed up psychology. Don't miss it!

10/10 in true Pip Drysdale style.

Pip has done it again!!

If you haven’t read or listened to any of her work you will fall in love with “The Paris Affair”.

If you enjoyed her previous titles “The Sunday Girl” and “The Strangers We Know” I highly recommend you listen to this immediately if not sooner!!

Enjoyable story

lived the story, felt a little repetitive, and open-ended in parts but still thoroughly enjoyed.

Personal opinions can vary

The story was good and not expected with the ending. The narrater I wasn't impressed by.
I almost stopped listening to the book but bit my lip to stay with the story.

Plot twists that made it interesting

This book unfolded into something a lot more interesting than I expected. An enjoyable book I would recommend.

Entertaining with all elements - 5 stars

Interesting and likeable main character. I enjoyed all elements- the loyal friend, competitive and unpleasant workplace, how the previous relationship had skewed main characters thinking, the main plot of who done it had twists and surprises. The “X” factor was also satisfying. Narrator/ author was fantastic.

disappointed

I found it slow in the beginning and forced myself to continue listening. I enjoyed Pip Drysdale previous books but felt this one was not as engaging. The ending was good, suspenseful and I was glad I followed the book to the end.
