I saw this cover and I definitely remember reading this book back in middle school. I also remember being more impressed by the art nouveau style of the cover than the actual story... it truly is a beautiful cover and concept. If only more mysteries were set in 1920s Paris, I might read them!
Man, what a gorgeous cover. Unfortunately, the inside didn't quite live up to it. It was mostly formulaic and typical, except that some idiosyncratically Parisian things were incorporated with a surprisingly deft touch. My library system has the second book in the series, or I probably wouldn't choose to continue. But I was intrigued just enough to be willing to see if the second book is an improvement.
