Paris to Die For（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Inspired by an actual letter in the John F. Kennedy Library
written by Jackie and revealing her job offer from the newly formed
CIA
　　Young Jacqueline Bouvier’s first CIA assignment was supposed to
be simple: Meet with a high-ranking Russian while he’s in Paris and
help him defect. But when the Comrade ends up dead, and Jackie-in
her black satin peep-toe stiletto heels-barely escapes his killer,
it’s time to get some assistance. Enter Jacques Rivage, a French
photographer and freelance CIA agent who seems too brash and
carefree to grapple with spies, though he’s all too able to make
Jackie’s heart skip a beat.
　　Together the two infiltrate 1951 high society in the City of
Lights, rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Duchess of Windsor,
Audrey Hepburn, and Evelyn Waugh. Jackie, no longer a pampered
debutante, draws on her quick intelligence, equestrian skills, and
even her Chanel No. 5 atomizer as a weapon to stay alive in the
shadowy world of international intrigue-and to keep her date with a
certain up-and-coming, young Congressman from Massachusetts . .

　　”In this fun spy romp, none other than Jacqueline Lee Bouvier
is graduating from college in 1951. [S]he is thrilled when [the]
deputy director of the newly established CIA offers her a special
assignment in Paris. Having studied at the Sorbonne, Jackie is
confident and intrigued, but when a simple defection devolves into
multiple murders, she calls for backup. This highly enjoyable first
[novel] offers plenty of cameo appearances by luminaries of the
post-WWII social and political scenes including the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor, Christian Dior, and Marlene Dietrich.”

Paris.” (Rita Mae Brown, New York Times bestselling author of the
Mrs. Murphy mysteries )
　　”Part mystery, part chick lit, Paris to Die For is all fun. It
manages to bring together a satisfying mystery and Cold War
espionage with a lighthearted romance and gushing tour of Paris.
It’s full of name-dropping, with cameos from Wallis Simpson to Ian
Fleming to the then-unknown Audrey Hepburn, and peppered with
delightful bits of pop culture. I’m already anticipating the next
book in the series.” (Historical Novels Review )
