About this listen
She thinks love can kill you. It turns out she might be right. The dark and sexy new thriller from the bestselling author of The Sunday Girl and The Strangers We Know.
Harper Brown is an expert at picking locks, breaking her way out of car boots, and talking her way out of trouble, and she could run a masterclass on escaping relationships—her record for losing a guy is three minutes flat. She’s addicted to true crime podcasts and is the genius behind a micro-column called "How to Not Get Murdered".
After having her heart broken helping her ex follow his dreams, Harper has moved to Paris to fulfill hers. She’s talked her way into a job as an arts journalist, a stepping stone to her dream role as an investigative journalist. All she has to do is whatever it takes to get there. But then one night she meets the artist Noah X, and everything she thinks she knows is turned upside down.
Soon Harper finds herself entangled in a web of lies, hot on the trail of a murderer and the scoop of a lifetime. This is the story that could make her career—if the killer doesn’t catch her first.

"A book that both utilises and critiques the trope of the murdered woman in the crime genre. . . . this was a thought provoking and difficult to put down novel that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend." The AU Review
"The tension and pace escalate . . . and all the red-herrings and breadcrumbs subtly dropped along the journey coalesce, delivering a gripping conclusion. An entertaining tale of mystery and suspense." Booklover
"A fast-paced and heart-stopping ride, packed with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes right to the end. Gripping, suspenseful and seriously addictive, The Paris Affair is yet another tantalising page-turner from the wonderful Pip Drysdale." Better Reading

Plot twists that made it interesting
This book unfolded into something a lot more interesting than I expected. An enjoyable book I would recommend.

Warning! You won't be able to stop listening!
Absolutely loved this third book from Pip Drysdale. "The Paris Affair" is my favourite to date. Totally entertained by the intelligent, quirky and brutally honest Harper Brown. And wow! The narration by the author was perfect. No-one could do Harper greater justice. One of those books that you have to keep reading but that you also don't want to finish too soon. Decided to pace myself to make it last longer but seriously couldn't wait to get into the car so I could keep listening. Such a great plot interwoven with creativity, art, culture, passion, love, loss, desperation, fear, crime, manipulation, humour and some messed up psychology. Don't miss it!

disappointed
I found it slow in the beginning and forced myself to continue listening. I enjoyed Pip Drysdale previous books but felt this one was not as engaging. The ending was good, suspenseful and I was glad I followed the book to the end.

Enjoyable story
lived the story, felt a little repetitive, and open-ended in parts but still thoroughly enjoyed.

Parts of it were ok.
The story was bearable- enough to keep me listening to the end but I did struggle. The narration was terrible told in a breathy whispery Marilyn Monroe type voice I couldn't stand it.

Slow
I really struggled with this book, it took me so long to get into it and once it was over I felt like there were so many different ways the book could have gone, so many avenues it just didn’t explore. I didn’t see the ending at all which was great but I just couldn’t grasp the main character, didn’t like her at all.

Entertaining.
I started listening expecting light-hearted rom. It delivered with some com. as well. Interesting observations regarding social norms and dating/relationships delivered from the backdrop of the City of Love. Breathy delivery and some unexpected excitement and mystery. I would happily listen to another of Pip's novels.

10/10 in true Pip Drysdale style.
Pip has done it again!!
If you haven’t read or listened to any of her work you will fall in love with “The Paris Affair”.
If you enjoyed her previous titles “The Sunday Girl” and “The Strangers We Know” I highly recommend you listen to this immediately if not sooner!!
