London milliner Vivian Tremont and her American cousin and partner, Scarlett Parker, tip their caps to their beloved shop on Portobello Road in Notting Hill and set off for Paris, where Viv can't wait to teach a hat-making class. But she has another reason to travel to the City of Light: to find the man she impulsively eloped with years ago and have their marriage annulled.

William Graham is not only handsome and charming, but he also has a glamorous job as an insurance investigator who works with priceless pieces of art, most recently a small Renoir that has been discovered in a junk shop. But when both Will and the masterpiece suddenly disappear, it's up to the ladies from London to follow the trail of clues. They'll need to hold on to their chapeaus, however, because someone is a master in the art of deception...

This was a fun caper! I really, really love the characters in this series. Just fabulously written & performed. Once you get used to the narrator her way of speaking becomes endearing. Plus, her accents are great. Highly recommend!

Love this series!

I HAVE READ JENN MCKINLAY'S OTHER SERIES BUT SOMEHOW MISSED THIS ONE UNTIL LASR WEEK. I LOVED THE CHARACTERS, THE SETTING, THE DIALOGUE, THE SHEER CHEMISTRY SO MUCH THAT I BINGED THROUGH THEM ALL. SCARLETT, HARRY, VIV, FIONA, ANDRE, NICK, ALISTAIRE - ALL ARE ENGAGING CHARACTERS WITH WHOM YOU WILL LAUGH AND MAYBE CRY BUT ALWAYS FIND INCREDIBLY ENJOYABLE. THIS BOOK WRAPPED UP A COUPLE OF SUB-PLOTS RUNNING THROUGH THE EARLIER BOOKS, BUT THESE CHARACTERS STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO, ALL WHILE ENTERTAINING THE READER.

I WOULD BE AMISS IF I DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE READER. SHE DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH THE AMERICAN, BRITISH, AND EVEN FRENCH ACCENTS. IT IS A PLEASURE LISTENING TO HER NARRATION.

OH, AND I AM A NATIVE TEXAN. WE DON'T ALL WEAR STETSONS AND BOOTS. HAHA (READ THE BOOK, AND YOU WILL GET IT.)

THIS SERIES IS ONE TO DIE FOR

I waiting a while for this book to be released and was so excited to finally be able to listen that i thought i built up to much anticipation, but this book did not disappoint. The story kept me engaged throughout and the twist in the mystery was a bonus. Probably like most readers of this series, i wanted to see what happens with Harrison and Scarlett and i am really glad the author did not drag it out. Great book to listen to on my long commute

This is one of my favorite series by Jenn McKinlay! I'm soooo sad to see it ending. I do really like this book but the ending kind of disappointed me but that might just be because I'm so sad that the series is over.

Great series!!

I’m sure a majority of people won’t think the violence is too much, but it took me by surprise and was occasionally gratuitous.
Otherwise, it was a good story as usual.

I hope this isn’t a new development in the series. I will be very disappointed, because I like when there are several books in a series.

I love cozy mystery series’s- borderline violence

Such a fun little series! It's best on audiobook so you can hear the accents. makes you feel like you're right there hanging out with Scarlett and Viv.

Love this series!

As as always is always Jenn McKinley does not disappoint. Entrancing and gripping along with humor and romance this book was one of the best. While her entire series has been nothing but a joy to read. Unfortunately I only have one more book in the series. I will be sad to see these characters leave.
