“A lush, gripping and satisfying read, full of humour, with a mystery as shadowy and twisty as someone at a masked ball packing heat.

Melodie Campbell, Arthur Ellis and Derringer prize-winning author of The Goddaughter series

Look for an unexpected twist at the end of this tale.” Anna Dowdall is masterful at using all the senses to put you right on the streets of the City of Lights. But the real star of this novel is the city of Paris. Ashley is a hugely attractive protagonist…and I particularly enjoyed the witty interplay between the three women who dominate the unusual plot. “APRIL ON PARIS STREET was a true pleasure to read. “A delight to read…” Ileana Munoz Renfroe, author of the Rosa the Cuban Psychic mystery series But even so, beneath it all, the writer leaves us with hope that there is goodness, too.” Carol Matas, internationally acclaimed author “Beautiful, evocative writing transports the reader from the streets of Montreal to Paris and back to Quebec in a thriller that twists and turns and ponders how easily we can be duped, used and betrayed. “Definitely a literary mystery, not so much a whodunnit… Fascinating.” The Miramichi Reader

“Dowdall deftly pulls the reader in with all the right ingredients for an entertaining and mysterious read.” South Branch Scribbler “As we approach the cold short days of a Canadian winter, Anna Dowdall’s APRIL ON PARIS STREET is we’re excited to cozy up with…” Five Mysteries for a Cozy Night In, All Lit Up “The writing is elegant and edgy, allowing Dowdall to create her dark, exquisite and addictively readable mystery.” Hollay Ghadery, author of Fuse “Just like the chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies eaten by private detective Ashley Smeeton throughout APRIL ON PARIS STREET, this novel is one of those guilty pleasures you sink into with abandon.” Montreal Review of Books “Anna Dowdall’s prose builds tension while it bends and curves poetically …A mystery novel that moves like an epic family drama.” Junction Reads
