Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One woman's trash is another woman's--lost Chagall masterpiece?!? Expat Zoe Barlow has settled well into her artist's life among the Lost Generation in 1920s Paris. When a too-tipsy guest at her weekly poker game breaks Zoe's favorite clock, she's off to a Montparnasse flea market to bargain with the vendor Laurette for a replacement. What Zoe didn't bargain for was the lost Chagall painting that's been used like a rag to wrap her purchases! Eager to learn whether Laurette has more Chagalls lying about like trash, Zoe sets off to track her down at her storage shed. With no Laurette in sight, Zoe snoops around and indeed finds several additional Chagalls—and then she finds Laurette herself, dead beneath a scrap heap, her beautiful face bashed in. With Paris hosting the 1924 Summer Olympics, the police are far too busy with tourist-related crimes to devote much time to the clock seller's murder. After returning the paintings to a grateful Marc Chagall, Zoe begins her own investigation. Did the stolen paintings play any part in the brutal killing? Or was it a crime of passion? Zoe soon discovers that there were many people who had reason to resent the lovely Laurette. But who hated the girl enough to stop her clock permanently? When Zoe discovers a second murder victim, the pressure is on to find the killer before time—and luck—run out.

THERE was also a short note to the manuscript, stating that Edermont had found out and helped the son of his old enemy, Dr. Scott, on the ground that he felt himself to be the cause indirectly of the man's death. Allen took occasion to explain this particular matter. 'Now I come to look back on it, ' he said reflectively, ' I believe that Edermont must have supplied most of the funds for my education. I understood they came from moneys left by my dead father; but from this story'--touching the manuscript--'it would appear that he died poor. Certainly Mr. Edermont behaved generously in inviting me to settle in Canterbury when I qualified for a doctor, and in helping me with a loan. I am afraid I acted badly to him on that day, ' added Allen, in a penitent tone, ' but I was not myself; the news of my father's terrible death maddened me.' 'And he was my father, after all!' sighed Dora. 'Poor soul! I never cared over-much fbr him, as I did not like his personality. And, as I thought I was living on my own money, I did not realize his generosity. I am glad to know that I am not the daughter of Carew.' 'It is strange that Mrs. Tice did not know Edermont was your father, ' said Allen, after a pause, 'for you must have been born shortly before the Dargills returned to Christchurch. Ah, here is Mrs. Tice, ' he added, as the housekeeper entered. 'Come here, nurse; we have good news for you.' 'And what may that be?' asked the old dame, smiling. 'Dora and I intend to fulfil our engagement, and marry.' The face of Mrs. Tice grew stern with dismay and disapproval. 'Impossible, Mr. Allen! How can you marry the daughter of your father's murderer?' 'That is just it, nurse; Dora is not the daughter of Carew, but of Julian Dargill

The clock rings in a New Year at midnight just as someone is murdered. There are more than a few unlikeable personalities running around within this book. It kind of makes the reader wish they would all get picked by the police just for being the nerve-racking menaces which they are. A party takes place on News Year. This reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes mystery of "Who done it". A house holiday celebration. A budding romance. A murder at midnight. A room full of sour relations who are suspects. Although, the mystery is a typical spin-off of classic murderous fiction, the plot is well written in the Wentworth style. Eventually, the services of Miss Silver are called in. She has her hands full with a room full of suspects all of which have a motive for murder
