With stunning locations and page-turning tension, The Paris Secret is an intense and gripping tale from bestselling author Karen Swan, the perfect escapism for fans of Santa Montefiore.
Not every door should be opened . . .
Somewhere along the cobbled streets of Paris, an apartment lies thick with dust and secrets: full of priceless artworks hidden away for decades.
High-flying fine art agent Flora from London, more comfortable with the tension of a million-pound auction than a cosy candlelit dinner for two, is called in to assess these suddenly discovered treasures. As an expert in her field, she must trace the history of each painting and discover who has concealed them for so long.
Thrown in amongst the glamorous Vermeil family as they move between Paris and Antibes, Flora begins to discover that things aren’t all that they seem, while back at home her own family is recoiling from a seismic shock. The terse and brooding Xavier Vermeil seems intent on forcing Flora out of his family’s affairs – but just what is he hiding?
'The next best thing to jumping on the Eurostar and being there' – Chris Manby, author of Three Days in Florence
'Escaping into a world of art, beauty and heartbreaking history, I was caught on page one and didn’t put it down until I finished it' – Liz Fenwick, author of The Cornish House
Enjoy more of Karen Swan's captivating seasonal novels with The Greek Escape and The Rome Affair.

Wat een aanrader!! Ik ben groot fan van de boeken van Karen Swan en dit boek was weer echt geweldig!! Niet ieder boek is in het Engels makkelijk te volgen (vaak ben ik toch met iets bezig), maar dit verhaal bleef plakken. En hoe. Het verhaal heeft alles wat ik geweldig vindt, romantiek, mysterie, vleugje tweede wereldoorlog, antiek, goede beschrijvingen van omgeving. Check, check, dubbelcheck! Lezen dus 😍

Great book. Could be a real story. The plot takes an unexpected twist.

Moeilijk om in te komen. Het wist me een lange tijd niet vast te grijpen, beetje saai. Pas over de helft van het boek werd het interessanter voor mij.
