Christmas in Paris: an Advent Romance by Anouk Filippini

A cosy festive mystery with a dreamy romance at its centre, told in a perfectly paced, bestselling advent calendar format. When Suzanne Sécretant arrives in Paris for her apprenticeship at the prestigious Rivoli bakery, nothing goes according to plan. First she gets stuck rolling croissants instead of learning from the whimsical genius head pastry chef.

Then, she witnesses an actual murder. This was definitely not how she had intended to spend her Christmas holidays. But after meeting the charming Léo and mysterious Sofiane, and armed with the victim’s last words, Suzanne realises she might hold the key to solving this case.

And maybe she could even find a little love along the way. Keep the anticipation building by reading one of the twenty-four sealed chapters each day in the lead up to Christmas!
