Good story

Brink's novel is incredibly descriptive. I was in Paris when I read the book and could clearly see in its pages the city, its allure--and its more seedy side. He captures wonderfully both the intrigues of diplomatic and Parisienne life. Romance, misty nights, closed-door meetings, Pigallian night clubs, political leverage, French bistros, scandal...it's all there! The story does lag in parts, but Brink generally keeps the tempo moving.
