I loved the book, couldn't put it down: adventure, mystery, excitement, a bit of romance, taking me to all the beautiful places I have been to! And so captivating, mesmerising and accurate description of those magnificent places! -) Pity, isn't taking all the way to Paris!
It's a bit similar to Molly M. Mysteries, my other favourite but in Europe and recent years.
I can't wait for the next one!

Loved this book! Aside from the interesting characters and the intriguing plot, it was the wonderful depictions of European landscapes and the charming mountains villages which I found most interesting. I would definitely recommend this novel and look forward to more adventures with Azalea and Babs.
