This was my book club's selection for September 2016. The description of the novel made it sound like a fun, if slightly fluffy, mystery novel set in Paris. I was unprepared for Nazi conspiracies, clueless neo-Nazis who don't know they're Jewish, and a plot that races from one Parisian scene to the next in something akin to Mission Impossible style. As the first book in a series, Murder in the Marais sets up mysteries yet to be solved (where is her mother? why did she leave? how did she and the dwarf become best friends?). It also is written in such a way that the author is angling for a film contract. I wish her well with that, and I might well watch the movie, but I don't think I'm going to read any more books in the series.
