An American in Paris

Harry Ricks, 42, left the United States after a painful breakup with his wife and an equally devious dismissal of a university where he taught film arts. More than a start is a leak, despite the pain of letting her daughter. Armed with a few savings, he moved to Paris, first in a hotel room where he was struck down by the flu, then helped by a Turkish employee, he moved into an attic room comfort more than rudimentary . On a shady job to equally suspicious dating, Harry will evolve over the constant danger, while a curious coincidence it is always favorable to the final.

The wife of the V th is a very good book, easy reading but nonetheless involved, where it is found embedded in plots, murders, mysteries, in short, is advanced at a frightening speed in the novel without seeing pass the time . Very good Kennedy, up to three quarters of the book. Not that the end is bad, but the author has chosen the fantastic, surreal creating a break with all the above and just spoils the fun. Easy solution? Lack of inspiration? We were expecting a more explosive answer to all these previously well-run, advanced and disappointment. Mr. Kennedy can do better, he has already proven. Too bad.
