Review:

Steeped in bohemian atmosphere, this accomplished thriller is a celebration of a historic city. * Good Book Guide * 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, Rene 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. * San Fransisco Chronicle * The ninth mystery in Cara Black's irresistible series set in Paris ... might well be the book we've been waiting for. Aimee Leduc, Black's adorably punkish sleuth, is in her element...one of this colorful series's most scenic itineraries. * New York Times Book Review * 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 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. * Booklist *
