Book Review: ‘The Ghosts Of Paris: A Billie Walker Novel’ By Tara Moss

The sequel to The War Widow (the first Billie Walker novel), is a great follow-up, with more character development, great settings in London and Paris, danger everywhere and a shocking revelation for Billie. The year is 1947 in Sydney, Australia and business is great for Billie and her private investigation business. Her new client is Vera Montgomery and her husband Richard has been missing for two years and she wants Billie to find out what happened to him. She offers double her rate and it means going to London and Paris, where Richard was last known to be. Along with her trusted assistant Sam, they travel and start their investigations and it leads to their lives being in danger. In Paris Billie is able to get information about Richard and also learns that someone from her past is after her as well. While in Paris Billie learns shocking information about her missing husband Jack, who vanished in 1944 in Warsaw, and it leaves Billie shocked. With her case solved and back to Australia, Billie has a lot to think about going forward (and hopefully in future books that will include a romance with Sam). Fans of the first novel will love this one. Here’s to many more years of adventures with Billie and Sam.
