This was a second hand store find, my wife gave it to me to read. It wasn't a typical whodunit in some respects that I'm not divulging so as not to be a spoiler. Set in Paris in the 60's (when it was published), details the murder investigation of a college student who is the son of a famous perfumer. It's a short book and quick read, and overall was a good book, although I think the finish could have been done better.
