Publisher's summary

A dream vacation turns deadly when secrets from the past catch up to a married couple in Paris in this new edge-of-your-seat thriller from USA Today bestselling author, Kimberly Belle.

When Stella met Adam, she thought she had finally found a nice, normal guy—a welcome change from her previous boyfriend and her precarious jetsetter lifestyle with him. But her secure world comes crashing down when Adam goes missing after an explosion in the city square. Unable to reach him, she panics.

As the French police investigate, it’s revealed that Adam was on their radar as a dealer of rare and stolen antiquities with a long roster of criminal clients. Reeling from this news, Stella is determined not to leave Paris until she has the full story. Was Adam a random victim or the target of the explosion? And why is someone following her through the streets of Paris?

An irresistible, fast-paced listen set in some of Europe’s most inviting locales, The Paris Widow explores how sinister secrets of the past stay with us—no matter how far we travel.

Fantastic story

This book was so very good! Characters were well developed and caused the attachment or dislike needed to keep me interested. I was hesitant when I read a reviews about narrator but she was good and helped the story. Definitely worth the credit!

Narration was too much

The narrator was really committed to expressing the emotion in the book, but I found it too much and very distracting from the story.

The narrator was awful.

I couldn’t stand the narrator. I couldn’t wait for the book to be finished as she was so annoying. Always having this trembling hurried voice. I eventually skipped ahead just to be finished with the book.

Loved the story, at times narration was a bit much

Loved the story..love a good story with twists and turns. You can tell the narrator is an actor, the dialogue is perfect. My only criticism about it is that sometimes, when narrating Stella’s perspective it seemed over the top at times, and that was distracting to the story. I ended up fast forwarding through some of those small parts. But you can tell the narrator is an actor, it seemed professional.

Great book! Horrible female narrator!

This book was good. I have been a member of Audible for over 20 years and the female narrator in this book was by far the worst narrator of any I’ve ever listened to. Apparently, she thought she was acting instead of reading and she overacted to such an extent that it was uncomfortable to listen to. I finished listening only because the story was good.

screeching narrator

Kimberley Belle is an auto buy for me. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as others. It was historical fiction and listening on audio the female narrator ruined it with her screeching in parts. It was a good story just didn’t hold my interest as all others have.

The narrator was awful

Everytime the narrator shrieked Adaaaam I wanted to cringe. I love the authors books and the story was good as was the male narrator. The female narrator was very hard to listen to

Audio version is tedious

It was hard to listen to an stressed crying voice during the whole book. I do not recommend audio on this book as I feel I got indigestion from crying voice for 14 hours.
