Praise for theNew York Timesbestselling Aime Leduc series
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
Cara Black books are good companions. . . . Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French. If you cant 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 youve always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead.

The buzz is partly about her heroines hip, next-generation, cutting-edge investigations and partly about Paris, a setting of unrivaled charm.

Compelling . . . Aime makes an engaging protagonist, vulnerable beneath her vintage chic clothing and sharp-witted exterior.
