This month we’re chatting about: A Murder in Paris by Matthew Blake

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Anna O comes a dazzling new psychological thriller that intertwines family secrets, wartime mysteries, and the slippery nature of memory.

Olivia Finn has built her life on the science of remembering. As a memory expert at Charing Cross Hospital in London, she’s trained to untangle the truth from illusion. But when the police summon her to the famed Hotel Lutetia in Paris, Olivia is thrust into a mystery unlike any she’s faced before.

Her grandmother, Josephine Benoit, has appeared at the hotel in a distressed state, claiming she committed a murder there at the end of World War II. At first, Olivia dismisses the confession as the delusion of age and confusion—until hotel records confirm that a woman did indeed die in that very room in 1945.

Determined to protect her grandmother while uncovering the truth, Olivia digs into Josephine’s past. But as her investigation deepens, the shadows of wartime Paris begin to stir once more. People connected to the hotel—and to Josephine’s story—start dying in the present day, forcing Olivia into a dangerous race against time.

Set against the glamorous, haunted streets of Paris, this novel asks chilling questions: Can memory be trusted? What secrets lie hidden in the past? And how far will someone go to silence the truth? Prepare for an addictive, atmospheric thriller that will ignite discussion long after the final page.
