Reviews

Praise for Murder in Passy

Addictive. . . Leduc is always a reliable and charming guide to the city's lesser-known corners.
The Seattle Times

A staccato tour de force, its as action and intrigue packed as others in the series . . . Also typically, while chasing the bad guys Aime not only pounds the Parisian pavement, but also boldly scales rooftops and climbs in sewers. All this, while wearing heals and vintage clothing; Aime is as bold and classy as ever.
Sacramento News and Review

The ideal mix of the personal, the political, the puzzling and the Parisian make Aimes latest a perfect pleasure.

Black knows how to build up real suspense . . . Go to Paris. Follow Aime. Bon soir.
Lincoln Journal Star

The rest of us will follow Aimee anywhere, the blinder the alley the better, thrilled to hitch a ride on the back of her scooter.
Booklist

Full of French political intrigue . . . Atmospheric.
Publishers Weekly

Aime is a fantastic guide as she invites the reader along on an excursion of Paris on the back of her scooter, which most tourists traveling to the City of Light never see. Back streets and alleys, smoky bistros and Paris mansions set the backdrop for this mystery.
New York Journal of Books

Charming . . . Aime is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the citys historical streets and byways with their eyes closed.
The New York Times Book Review

Leduc has such a thorough grasp of the practicalities of investigation, plus a penchant for undercover work that will have readers on pins and needles.
