The Paris Diversion

A Novel

By: Chris Pavone

Narrated by: Mozhan Marnò

In this “deliciously twisty” (The Wall Street Journal) thriller with “the most clever plot twist of the year” (The Washington Post), expat Kate Moore discovers that a massive terror attack on Paris is not what it seems—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Doorman.

“[The Paris Diversion is] thriller writing at its absolute best . . . with echoes of Graham Greene and John le Carré.”—Jeffery Deaver

American expat Kate Moore drops her kids at the international school, makers her rounds of chores, and meets her husband Dexter at their regular café: a leisurely start to a normal day.

Across the Siene, tech CEO Hunter Forsyth stands on his balcony, wondering why his police escort just departed, and frustrated that his cell service has cut out.

And on the nearby rue de Rivoli, Mahmoud Khalid climbs out of an electrician’s van, elbows his way into the crowded courtyard of the world’s largest museum, and removes his windbreaker.

That’s when people start to scream.

Entertaining

This was a good way to spend time recovering from tooth extraction surgery. Entertaining. Not crazy deep, not super believable, didn’t challenge the reader in any sort of concrete way, but it was a good listen.

Engaging listen

Terrific performance by the narrator, who really brought the characters to life. Story tended to get a bit confusing towards the end as the pace quickens, exciting overall

Mozhan Marno is Terrific Reader of an intricately crafted Thriller

Chris Pavone’s fabulously written espionage thrillers The Ex Pat and The Paris Diversion become alive and further engrossing with Marno’s crisp, resonant reading. I was extremely disappointed to listen to Pavone’s recent book, narrated by a different, and distinctly less engrossing narrator. Bring back Mozhan!!! AND, bring back Kate! Please!

Thumbs up!

Perfect summer read ... a real page turner even though I listened to the audio version. GREAT NARRATION by Mozhan Marnò!!

Terrific addition to this genre! AND in PARIS!

Well done and engrossing. Complex enough to keep one's attention. Love the detailed back-drop of Paris, Venice and Hong Kong with realistic details. Listened all is one day. Characters are believable.
