Short but not bad
The story is interesting in that Paris is the setting. The author is very good at relating sites, streets and restaurants found in Paris.
However the plot is rather boring. The reason behind the trip to Paris is undeveloped and has no good ending.

A other Problem in Paris
The story line was good but as the author was wrapping up the ending it just stops. You can definitely tell it stops for another book. It just leaves you hanging.
