29 Days until THE BONES OF PARIS…
It’s 29 days until The Bones of Paris, Laurie R. King’s suspense novel of 1929 Paris.
Hotel Benoit: probably in the neighborhood of 8 rue Vavin.
From page 9: A dizzying panorama of rooftops: tiles and tin, brick and timber, steeples and drying laundry; centuries of chimneypots and a narrow slice of stone magnificence in the distance. Children’s voices and taxi horns competed with a tram rattle from the rue de Rennes and a neighbor’s accordion, mournfully wading through a lively tune.
Harris Stuyvesant’s hotel occupies one of the little-known arcades south of the Seine, although most of the Paris arcades are on the Rive Droite. The video is an excerpt from Walter Benjamin’s massive Arcades Project, showing a few of the arcades in question.

Beautiful and eerie. Your books always make me want to visit their settings – now I have to return to Paris (oh darn).
How about the audio version? Which I really need.
PS Your readers have all been excellent and are much appreciated.
