Praise for Murder in Montmartre
I always wondered why I used to quicken my step in Montmartre. After reading Cara Blacks wonderful book, now I know. As atmospheric as anything by John le Carr.Philip Kerr, author of Berlin Noir
"As always, the Parisian setting is vividly evoked, the heroine's wardrobe is chic, and the action is non-stop. The story has its Nancy Drew elementssecret passageways, confrontations in darkened graveyards, chases across cobblestones in spike heels . . . If you long for the adventure-filled stories that got you hooked on reading in the first place, you'll enjoy this."
Mystery Scene
Chilling . . . The book vividly depicts a gritty, working-class part of Paris . . . Black succeeds in making the reader feel the damp, the snow, the fear.

Praise for theNew York Timesbestselling Aime Leduc series
If youve always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead.
Val McDermid
Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French. If you cant go, these will do fine. Or, better, go and bring them with you.
Alan Furst
She makes Paris come alive as no one else has since Georges Simenon.
Stuart Kaminsky
If youve never been to Paris, or youd like to go back soon, let Cara Black transport you there.
Linda Fairstein
Charming. . . . Aime is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the citys historical streets and byways with their eyes closed.
