Pretty average. Mediocre hokum might be a fairer description.
Set in Paris and London, it features romance, murder, attempted murder, jewel robbery and a lot of deception. Unfortunately the central mystery, the identity of "Mr Big" aka master thief , Zaldo, was not too difficult to fathom.
My second foray into this author and my last, for the moment.
