    I have not read any of these books, but the Paris Key I have heard of. It sounds like 2015 was great to you for reading.
    The Girl who wrote in Silk sounds lovely, too.

    I really loved Sound of Glass. There seems to be a couple books with Violet and Paris in the title. I'll have to check out these others. Thanks for the list.

      I think I've got the Violet Grant book, plus the Darcie Chan book and I also think I may have The Sound of Glass. All will be wonderful, I'm sure. :-)

      Wow....they are all so good.

      Darcie's first two books are wonderful too. I want to live in that town. :)

      Thanks for getting back with the titles you have.

      The Sound of Glass was amazing too.

      ENJOY when you read them.

    I haven't read any of these books but most are on my TBR. I'm especially excited about The Paris Key. I love Blackwell's cozy mysteries titles so I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with a different genre.

    Finally a list I've actually read a few books on! LOL. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not a total failure as a reader. A Memory of Violets was a sweet story!

    That said, I haven't heard of a bunch of these too, so more fodder for my ginormous wishlist!
