Scarlet (The Haslewood Mysteries Book 1)

Description

Paris, 1925.

Meet Scarlet Haslewood, a con artist with a weakness for stylish hats, French pastry, and stealing things. And she’s good at what she does. Really good.

So now she’s set her sights on the most audacious con of her career: selling the Mona Lisa. After all, stealing it is just, well, too easy. And besides, it’s been done before. But convincing someone to pay you a fortune for something you don’t even own? Now there’s a challenge!

Amidst trendy cafes, posh hotels, and even the Louvre Museum itself, Scarlet will have to stay one step ahead if she’s going to smooth-talk and charm her way into the hearts and minds of her latest marks. Whether she’s playing the elegant Comtesse Aurelie d’Auvergne, the cold and calculating Miss Davenport, or the casual and unassuming Dana Greenley, she’ll need to keep her many aliases straight . .  . and her lies even straighter.

But for the woman who spins stories and twists the truth for a living, there’s a rather unexpected twist headed her way . . .

One that just might spin her own story in a whole new direction!
