"For widowed American expat Claire Baskerville, Paris is the perfect city to put her crime-solving skills to the test." Because god forbid there should be a novel without an American in it. And why is Paris the perfect city? Is it rife with murderers? Is the Paris gendarmerie utterly incompetent? Does her widowhood somehow magically qualify her to fight crime? Or is this just another interfering dipshit getting in the way?
