Paris - a city shrowded in mystery. Atleast the numerous books written describe it so. I have read 3 books till now, written at different points in time, the plot has it's foundations in some or the other famous monument of Paris.
The first of the series was Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown based built on "La Louvre". This was also made into a movie, as you already know. It caused quite a sensation due to it's religious association! However it does have a love track running along with the mystery track.
The second was Hunch back of Notredame by Victor Hugo. This was a love story of sorts among the inhabitants of the famous Notredame church in Paris. I read an un-abriged translation. Found the original fench book too much for the little french that I know.
The third and the latest that I read was The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. This is also another love story and the setting is The Paris opera house.
I enjoyed reading each of these books....in their own way they were quite thriling! Parisans and the thrill they get out of love shrouded in mystery....Would love to visit this place some time...
