SIMON PENNINGTON MYSTERIES
Mystery. Suspense. Noir Romance.
Among the rich of Paris, there are opportunities for thieves and forgers such as Vadim Bergeron, a predator who delights in destroying the reputations of true artists and the naïve women who love them. However, one private detective has spent years recruiting waiters and chefs to build a reliable, although eclectic network of informants. Within days of an art theft, he can count on clues arriving during dinner: a note slipped under his dessert plate, an address scribbled on a receipt, a suggestion of where an object might be fenced, or the name of a potential buyer whispered in his ear along with a…“Will there be anything else, Monsieur?” Catching art thieves has become this Paris sleuth’s “raison d’etre” and Simon Pennington is determined Olivette Ferrier will become Vadim Bergeron’s last victim.
Also available in eBook at Amazon.

Review by Carolyn Davis, May 1, 2021
Waiting in Paris is another delightful, tres Parisian, mystery that features society detective Simon Pennington. It is not always possible, these days, truly to enjoy a mystery, but Kopman-Owens' books do not disappoint. Author Peggy Kopman-Owens' works are always half puzzles, and half enjoyable travelogues that include delights that appeal to all of the senses. Paris society -- including chefs, gourmets, beautiful women, and ambiguous characters, are in Simon Pennington's network of -- generally polite -- informants.
The audiobook, which I have recently heard, augments the delights of the story by the narration of Sir Hugh Elliot.
The detective is after an art vandal named Vadim Bergeron, a rascal who blackmails artists, and participates in art thefts. The complexities of the chase lift Waiting in Paris to the level of the high quality expected of the best detective story fiction.
