Paris to Die For（ISBN=9780446567411） 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　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 . .

媒体评论

　　"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."

(Booklist )

　　"Great fun! Makes you want to buy big sunglasses and fly to

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 )

　　"JFK loved Ian Fleming's creation of James Bond so this

intriguing novel may not be as far-fetched as you think." (Kitty

Kelley, New York Times bestselling author of Jackie Oh! )

　　"A bold book that makes you rethink one of our most beloved 20th

century American icons." (Mark Medoff, Tony Award-winning

playwright of Children of a Lesser God )

　　"In her last year as an editor, Jacqueline Onassis was actually

working on an espionage story that intersected with her own life at

key points. I can imagine her paging through PARIS TO DIE FOR with

a wicked smile." (William Kuhn, author of Reading Jackie: Her

Autobiography in Books )

　　"Paris to Die For is a frothy romp through the City of Light with

a determined young Jackie Bouvier. It goes down with a tickle, like

a fine champagne." (Rebecca Cantrell, award-winning author of A

Game of Lies )

　　"Having known the real Jackie, I can say that she loved

adventure--and had a fantastic sense of curiosity--and our imagined

heroine here is likewise enterprising, brave, and fun to follow."

(Glenn Plaskin, interviewer and author of Katie Up and Down the

Hall: The True Story of How One Dog Turned Five Neighbors into a

Family )

　　"Jackie. Oh! Like never before. If you like suspense, romance,

Paris, and Dior you'll love this book." (Laurie Graff, author of

You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs and The Shiksa Syndrome )

　　"Interesting and insightful...explores the early adventures of

our thirty-fifth first lady as Jackie struggles to find herself

pre-John F. Kennedy. Leaving behind the privileged life of her

wealthy parents to serve her country in clandestine, death-defying

adventures, Jackie never has a dull moment in Paris to Die For."

(Diane Dimond, journalist, author, and columnist )

　　"A ravishing romp through post-war Paris with our most elegant of

icons. C'est un livre extraordinaire!" (Shari Shattuck, author of

the Callaway Wilde mysteries )
