Praise for the Aimee Leduc series:
'If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black... It's so authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee.' Val McDermid
"Cara Black books are good companions.... Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendentally, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better yet, go and bring them with you."-Alan Furst
"Charming.... Aimée is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the city's historical streets and byways with their eyes closed."-The New York Times Book Review
"One of the best heroines in crime fiction." -Lee Child

Recenzii
Black's ability to combine the landscape of Parisian neighborhoods with the intricate politics of the city's many immigrant communities is what gives this series its appeal ... A solid outing in a dependable series.
If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black ... It's so authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee.
The ninth mystery in Cara Black's irresistible series set in Paris ... might well be the book we've been waiting for. Aimée Leduc, Black's adorably punkish sleuth, is in her element...one of this colorful series's most scenic itineraries.
This is the ninth of Black's novels about the chic, indomitable Parisian detective, and it has all the elements Black's readers have come to cherish: an engaging protagonist with a likable sidekick (her diminutive partner, René Friant), cops who hinder more than they help, villains with murky motives, grisly crimes and, above all, the unique Parisian atmosphere...Black creates rich, plausible characters, giving them individuality and depth.
Steeped in bohemian atmosphere, this accomplished thriller is a celebration of a historic city.
