10 Jan THE PARIS DIVERSION | CHRIS PAVONE
This is a fast-paced novel but unfortunately not to my liking. The author has done a good job in making me finish the book in a maximum of two days which is a good thing. This is going to be mainly my thoughts rather than a review. The main character of the book is Kate Moore who was also present in the author’s previous novel The Expats. She is a former CIA operative and has started living with her husband Dexter and her child Ben in Paris after some disastrous event in her previous assignment. What we find here is she is caught in between an apparent terrorist attack, She realises that it is not what the police officers think and maybe the attack is closer to her than Paris. If more details are given then, this review will have spoilers rather than my views.
I am quite surprised by the reviews given by some authors in the book because it is not a heart-throbbing thriller. It is a one time read and I wouldn’t suggest you buy it until you are a book collector like me. I got this book only because of the name. Let me be honest I am fascinated by the French and their ways. I have been to Paris only once but it was enough for me to fall in love with the city. Though it is called the city of love I believe for me the city of love is Cairo. I am going off-topic here but like I said don’t waste your time on this one unless you are a fan of the author.
Rating: 3.5/5
