Description
Most Anticipated Fall Fiction from 49th Shelf
Your basic damsel-in-distress gig sounds perfect to private investigator Ashley Smeeton, who’s got her own personal and professional struggles in Montreal. Against the backdrop of the winter Carnaval, the job first takes her to Paris where she’s drawn into an unsettling world of mirages and masks, not to mention the murderous Bortnik brothers. When she returns to Montreal, a city rife with its own unreasonable facsimiles, the case incomprehensibly picks up again. Convinced she’s being played, Ashley embarks on an even more dangerous journey into duplicity. In a world of masks behind masks, it’s hard to say where the truth lies.
Advance Praise
Beautiful, evocative writing transports the reader from the streets of Montreal to Paris and back to Quebec in a thriller that twists and turns and ponders how easily we can be duped, used and betrayed. But even so, beneath it all, the writer leaves us with hope that there is goodness, too. — Carol Matas, internationally acclaimed author
Smart, funny, and so skillfully written. Compelling and eccentric characters navigate a web of deceit and betrayal in this twisting, tantalizing tale infused with the flavours of Paris and Montreal. — Ann Lambert, author of The Dogs of Winter
April on Paris Street was a true pleasure to read. Ashley is a hugely attractive protagonist…and I particularly enjoyed the witty interplay between the three women who dominate the unusual plot. But the real star of this novel is the city of Paris. Anna Dowdall is masterful at using all the senses to put you right on the streets of the City of Lights. Look for an unexpected twist at the end of this tale. — Melodie Campbell, Arthur Ellis and Derringer prize-winning author of The Goddaughter series

Lark !, Reviewer
It took me far too long to settle into these pages for what turned out to be a delightful read. I enjoyed the novel not only for the story but even more so for the exquisite scene-setting, from the interiors of a Paris apartment to the city of Montreal. There isn't a spare word but the story never felt short-changed.
