Missing In Paris




A compulsive, twisty thriller set in Paris, from international bestseller Eva Jurczyk

Genie St. Onge has always been unlucky in love – but that doesn’t stop her falling head over heels for Jacob Ford, a handsome young American she meets when travelling in the Philippines.
Their whirlwind romance soon takes them to Paris, where they rent a luxurious apartment and continue their love affair.
Until Jacob disappears.
Desperate to find him, Genie turns to the police and her neighbours to help with her search.
Yet under their scrutiny, it becomes clear that Jacob and Genie’s love story isn’t quite what she made it out to be – and perhaps Jacob isn’t who he seems to be, either…

Praise for Missing In Paris

Staggeringly good - elegant, piercingly funny, and almost impossible to put down. I knew from the first page that I was holding in my hands something unique; an unapologetically original thriller that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Eva Jurczyk has a dazzling talent and her dark and beguiling Paris is unforgettable

Rosie Walsh

Set in a richly drawn Paris, this deftly plotted, character driven thriller kept me guessing from the first page to the last. Exploring a romantic dalliance that goes disastrously wrong, the novel unfolds through a series of interviews, each perspective making you not only question the one that came before, but yourself. A chilling sense of unease pervades every page and Jurczyk’s accomplished and intelligent prose only amplifies that paranoia as the book ratchets up the tension to a stunning conclusion. A must read!

Sarah Pearse

Like Paris itself, Missing in Paris shimmers, seduces, and never lets you go. Eva Jurczyk delivers a dazzling, brilliantly structured novel that is part mystery, part thriller, part love letter to the City of Lights. I was utterly immersed until the final jaw-dropping twist. Simply exceptionnel. Fantastique!

Alex Finlay, bestselling author of The Anniversary

A low note of dread rings through this thriller from the very first page. Beneath Eva Jurczyk's gorgeous rendition of Paris, something terrible is stirring. A compulsive, breathless read.

Bea Setton, author of Berlin

A brilliantly structured and richly atmospheric thriller about love, passion, and deceit that will sweep you away into the romance of Paris, then leave you questioning everyone and everything, including yourself.

Kimberley McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else's Husband

In this brilliantly executed suspense, truth and perception are skewed and no one's memory can be trusted as a woman's life hangs in the balance. Told entirely in police transcripts, Missing In Paris enthralls with whiplash-sharp turns and tantalizing twists. Eva Jurczyk delivers a superb masterclass in originality that will keep you pinned to every mesmerizing page

Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today and no. 1 international bestselling author of Hello, Juliet

I loved Missing In Paris. I was absolutely gripped from beginning to end, and loved being as clueless as the investigating police officers, and not knowing who to trust. I wholly believed in the characters, and Paris, and every chapter had me desperate for the next. A truly compulsive, and beautifully clever, book

Ellie Levenson, bestselling author of Room 706

A super stylish thriller. I found myself truly transported to Paris in this gloriously vivid, gripping read

Lucy Foley

As it turns out you don't need to go to Paris if you want to go to Paris. Just dig into Eva Jurczyk's latest. Missing In Paris is a high-end layered croissant stuffed with suspense and romance...I loved it

Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author of You

With rich, complex characters, evocative prose, and a totally immersive setting, Missing In Paris is a terrific read. Equal parts puzzle-box mystery and smart commentary on modern dating and the roles we allow women to play, Eva Jurczyk's novel made me gasp, laugh - and start looking up flights to Charles de Gaulle

Andrea Bartz

WIth a missing lover, tons of secrets, and the streets of Paris set as a backdrop, Missing In Paris was a thriller I had to read. Told through police interviews and transcripts, I devoured every page

Lucinda Berry

Set in the delicious scenery of Paris, this mystery unfurls wonderfully through police transcripts and the perfectly unreliable Genie, swept up in a passionate love affair gone wrong. Charming, cinematic, and page-turning, Jurczyk’s elevated prose, and clever dance between truth and perception, is an absolute joy to read

Ashley Audrain

Suspense readers and literary enthusiasts alike will savour this delicious new novel from emerging literary suspense novelist Eva Jurczyk. They will enjoy its vexing characters, raw and real descriptions of Paris…humour, and most of all, its fast-moving plot, with twists and surprises up until the very end

Library Journal

A sophisticated, compulsive page-turner where nothing is as it seems, nobody is quite who they claim to be, and everyone holds their own version of the truth. Whip-smart and utterly addictive, I couldn't read it fast enough

Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of A Killer Motive
