Review
"A terrific book...brilliantly evokes the casual brutality of life in eighteenth century France" The Sunday Times"Parot succeeds brilliantly in the reconstruction of of pre-revolutionary Paris" The Times"Has all the twists, turns and surprises the genre demands" The Independent on Sunday"An angaging murder mystery that picks away at the delicate power balance between king, police and state" The Financial Times"Jean-Francois Parot's evocation of eighteenth century Paris is richly imagined and full of fascinating historical snippets... the first in a promising series of French period mysteries, and if the other titles are half as good as this one, they will cetainly be worth looking out for." The Mail on Sunday" a roaring success in France ... and it is easy to see why" The Economist
