Advance Reviews

“Sagnier takes us to vividly realized, lovesick Montparnasse, weighted with upheaval and rebirth in the aftermath of the first world war. Drawing together intimate lives, period authenticity and lurid twists, Sagnier has composed a must-read for historical fiction buffs, Francophiles and fans of Caleb Carr alike.”

— Taylor Zajonc, Bestselling author of The Maw and winner of the 2018 Clive Cussler “Grandmaster” Adventure Writers Competition

“Montparnasse is a fascinating, utterly compelling read set in avant-garde Paris, specifically the artists’ haven of Monparnasse, just after World War I. Life in Monparnasse, where at this time anything goes and nothing is forbidden, unfolds before the reader in a series of delightful anecdotes held together by two main stories, one of a serial murderer of well-off widows, of whom there were plenty after the trench massacres of the war, and the other seen through the eyes of a pair of mis-matched American newlyweds. Famous artists drink absinthe in the cafés and walk the cobbled streets in a delightful depiction of a city and a land coming back to life after the tragedy of war.”

— Jane Feather, New York Times bestselling author of The Blackwater Brides series
