With trademark style and charming whimsy, this intriguing murder mystery of neighbourly curiosity from a master storyteller is sure to delight fans old and new (Huffington Post)

Admirably concise; intriguing, comic and poignant by turns, this is a sheer delight -- The Guardian

Five floors, one murder, let the therapy begin. . .

Nathalia Guitry was a successful photographer--until the day she caught a murder on camera. Traumatised and unable to work, she begins attending therapy, where Doctor Faber suggests a way out of her creative block: she must write stories about the people she sees in the building opposite, floor by floor.

Starting on the ground floor, with the actor-turned-YouTube life coach, and going all the way to the 5th floor via a cartoonist and an ex-trader, Nathalia creates vivid accounts of her Parisian neighbours' lives. But are her tales real or imaginary?

Dr Faber becomes increasingly uncertain as their sessions play out, but he has his own has his own quirks and foibles to deal with, from his habit of collecting keys--and interest in finding out what they unlock--to his passion for smoking.

As Nathalia's stories climb the floors of the apartment building, doctor and patient engage in an intellectual game of cat and mouse, teasing each other--and the reader--with hints and misdirection. Will you be able to tell truth from fiction?

French Windows oozes Parisian perfection from a master storyteller, with a good dose of mystery, intrigue, and suspense.
