Praise for Murder in Pigalle
"The stylish sleuth in Cara Black's blithe mysteries set in Paris, is making an odd fashion statement in Murder in Pigalle--ill-fitting frocks and low heels. Almost six months pregnant and showing it... But once the investigation takes a detour into the cavernous sewers of the city, she proves she can still find her way home in the dark."

"Leduc is a refreshing and entertaining guide to Parisian neighborhoods and cultures, especially those that well-established tourist routes typically pass by. Let's hope she never runs out of districts to scoot around in."
