I think this is a "must read" type of book. It will keep you busy for a while, as it is involved and intricate.

A novel of adventure and family secrets. The sequel to THE SNOW LEOPARD OF SHANGHAI.
This story kept me on the edge of my seat. The plot was comfortable, but as soon as I was lulled into familiarity, the author threw a curve, and I was continuously surprised. I have already ordered the other book by this author and eagerly awaiting its arrival.

In Paris, Mary blossoms into womanhood amid a glamorous life privilege as the Consul General's daughter.
