"Paris Secrets is an exciting page-turner and an entertaining, enjoyable book to read. The characters are varied and complex. After many twists, turns and red herrings, the mystery comes to a surprise conclusion."

—ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES, NEWS AND REVIEWS, ILKA GORDON, BEACHWOOD, OHIO, SEPT-OCT 2021

"This is a tale of mystery, secrets, family, and pastries. . . .

"What will be the outcome of the baking contest? And who is the guy on the red moped that seems to be following them? These answers and more can be found in the pages of this young adult novel written with exquisite detail by Vogel. Each scene is described so vividly readers will feel like they have stepped out of the pages and directly into Paris's streets. Mouths will undoubtedly water from the depiction of the dishes created during the baking contest. And, the storyline keeps one guessing page after page."

—THE US REVIEW OF BOOKS, ​JENNIFER HARTMAN

"Readers will find Paris Secrets an outstanding read that requires no prior familiarity with Jake McGreevy's first two adventures, and they will be riveted by this impactful story about friendship and valor, past and present."
—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, D. DONOVAN

“The chap­ters alter­nate between the boys’ time search­ing for clues to the mys­tery in Paris and com­pet­ing at Le Cor­don Bleu — an excel­lent tech­nique for bal­anc­ing the events and the action. The rela­tion­ship between Jake and Ben is real­is­tic and endear­ing and helps draw read­ers into the sto­ry. . . . This sto­ry is also an excel­lent intro­duc­tion to some of the more advanced con­cepts of World War II and the Holo­caust and will be suit­able for read­ers who have a basic under­stand­ing of world events which occurred dur­ing that time period.”
