Summary
It's a very different episode of The Earful Tower this time around.
Meet Eddie Gee, my little brother, who has just been in Paris trying to help me solve a ten-year-old mystery.
In short, we're tracking down Mary, a woman who saved both of our skins on our first trip to Paris a decade ago.
Along the way, we see loads of Paris and meet a few interesting characters too. But can we find Mary?
