ReviewsPraise for Murder in the Rue de Paradis "A tightly spun web worthy of a classic spy thriller . . . Leduc's City of Light is a stylish, dangerous place throbbing by night to an ominous techno world beat, and Aimee Leduc is a marvelous invention, a thirdgeneration Sam Spade in couture." -Washington Post Book World "Brimming with Middle Eastern intrigue that reflects the modern era." -The Christian Science Monitor "Black deftly makes the history of the city resonate . . . Murder in the Rue de Paradis is a page-turner, but some of its pages invite you to linger and reflect." -San Francisco Gate "Riveting . . . Aimee Leduc, smart, spirited and sassy, takes the reader on an action-packed ride fueled by the hidden secrets of her beloved Paris." -Publishers Weekly Praise for the New York Times bestselling Aimee Leduc series "Charming . . . Aimee 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 "Cara Black books are good companions. . . . Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better yet, go and bring them with you." -Alan Furst "Conveys vividly those layers of history that make the stones of Paris sing for so many of us." -Chicago Tribune "If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead." -Val McDermid "The buzz is partly about her heroine's hip, next-generation, cutting-edge investigations and partly about Paris, a setting of unrivaled charm." -Houston Chronicle "Compelling . . . Aimee makes an engaging protagonist, vulnerable beneath her vintage chic clothing and sharp-witted exterior." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
