Claude Izner - Murder on the Eiffel Tower (Gallic Books, Ł7.99)

This murder mystery is set in the Paris of 1889, when the newly completed Eiffel Tower was the entrance to the Universal Exposition. A young bookseller, Victor Legris, attempts to solve the meaning behind a succession of deaths, brought about, apparently, by bee-stings. In the course of his investigation he adds to his difficulties by falling in love with the red-haired bohemian, Tasha Kherson. But who can he trust? Nineteenth century Paris is brought to life and peopled with fascinating characters in this page-turner, where all is not what it seems.
