An American in Paris navigates her family’s secret past and unlocks her own future, in this emotionally evocative novel by New York Times bestselling author Juliet Blackwell.
As a girl, Genevieve Martin spent the happiest summer of her life in Paris, learning the delicate art of locksmithing at her uncle’s side. But since then, living back in the States, she has become more private, more subdued. She has been an observer of life rather than an active participant, holding herself back from those around her, including her soon-to-be-ex-husband.
Paris never really left Genevieve, and, as her marriage crumbles, she finds herself faced with an incredible opportunity: return to the magical city of her youth to take over her late uncle’s shop. But as she absorbs all that Parisian culture has to offer, she realizes the city also holds secrets about her family that could change her forever, and that locked doors can protect you or imprison you, depending on which side of them you stand.

      As a child, Genevieve Martin spent a wonderful summer in Paris at her uncle's locksmith shop, recovering from her mother's death. While falling in love with the city, she also learned tricks of the locksmith trade. Now, grown up and on the verge of divorce, Genevieve returns to Paris after her uncle's death. While she enjoys spending her time in the city she never stopped loving, and begins to work through her uncle's life in locks and keys, she uncovers mysteries about her family that will change everything she thought she knew. Mystery author Blackwell's (Spellcasting in Silk) foray into women's fiction starts off a little slowly, but eventually unravels the backstory of Genevieve's mother, and at that point, readers will become more invested. The cast of Parisian characters makes the story all the better. VERDICT This is a solid contemporary fiction purchase, especially for Francophiles and those who enjoy Paris settings.--Brooke Bolton, Boonville-Warrick Cty. P.L., IN
