I was starved of touch and desperate for connection... so I moved to Paris. This is the racy, no-holds barred account of my summer with a string of much younger lovers - and the lessons I learned about sex
A sunny Sunday in a park in Paris, where I have been for over two weeks. Overhead the sky is blue, the light filtering through the trees is golden and on my phone are messages I have exchanged with a man whose name and face I do not know.
We matched on a French dating app, where his profile has no photo, just a silhouette and his age: 49, three years older than me.

British man charged by US with leading hacking scheme and causing millions in damages
A British man has been charged in the US with allegedly leading a global hacking scheme which caused millions of pounds in damages. Kai West, 25. who operated under the online identity IntelBroker was arrested in France in February. The US is seeking his extradition over allegations he stole and sold data. He faces up to 20 years in jail if found guilty. "West, and his online co-conspirators, took that stolen data, and offered it for sale online for more than $2 million," according to an indictment by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. West faces charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and wire fraud, accessing a protected computer to obtain information and wire fraud, according to the indictment. According to FBI assistant director in charge, Christopher G Raia, the "years-long" scheme had caused victims losses of at least 25 million dollars (£18.2m) worldwide. A telecommunications company, a municipal healthcare provider and an internet service provider were among more than 40 victims listed in the indictment. "The IntelBroker alias has caused millions in damages to victims around the world," said US attorney Jay Clayton. "This action reflects the FBI's commitment to pursuing cybercriminals around the world. "New Yorkers are all too often the victims of intentional cyber schemes and our office is committed to bringing these remote actors to justice." Mr Clayton thanked British, French, Spanish and Dutch authorities for their assistance in the investigation.

A tense thriller that still lets you savour the tastes of France: The best Classic Crime novels out now - An Enemy in the Village by Martin Walker, Night at the Crossroads by Georges Simenon, And Cauldron Bubble by Brian Flynn
An Enemy in the Village by Martin Walker (Quercus £22, 320pp) The latest adventure for Bruno Courreges, chief of police for a small hill town in the Dordogne, is an annual treat for readers who hanker after the good life. But in every paradise a serpent lurks. When Bruno comes across a dead woman in an abandoned car, all the signs point to suicide. Yet, the departed was a successful businesswoman. Complications and unanswered questions multiply when it emerges that she has left the firm she created to her business partners, with her husband getting nothing except the marital home. When the will is contested, Bruno finds himself up against corrupt lawyers and politicians who aim to bring his career to an inglorious end. With strong characterisation, Walker keeps up the tension while providing welcome breaks in the narrative for readers to savour the best in French food and wine. Night at the Crossroads by Georges Simenon (Penguin Modern Classics £9.99, 160pp) Georges Simenon was a prolific and fast writer. In 1931 alone, he published 11 Maigret novels. Night At The Crossroads has a youngish Maigret as the tough cop interrogating a murder suspect for 17 hours. But without result. Who, then, was it who dispatched a diamond merchant whose body has been found at a remote house outside Paris? Brought vividly to life by Simenon's sparse but highly readable style, the suspects include a pompous insurance agent, an over-familiar garage owner and a supposedly frail woman who rarely moves from her bedroom. All are hiding something from Maigret and from each other. The battle of wits builds to a terrific climax. And Cauldron Bubble by Brian Flynn (Dean Street Press £10.99, 284pp) A popular crime writer in the early post-war years, Flynn was displaced by the upcoming generation who favoured gutsier content. But this is to under-rate an author who had a sharp eye for detection as seen through the eyes of Anthony Bathurst, a gentlemanly private investigator on assignment to Scotland Yard. The plot hangs on the murder of a popular, elderly, genteel lady and her companion. Where is the motive for their untimely deaths? While unravelling the last days of the victims, Bathurst is led up several blind alleys. Moving along at a cracking pace, Flynn is perhaps overly keen to drop too many red herrings, including a whopper early in the book. But keeping up with a convoluted plot is all part of the fun.
