Murder in Belleville: An Aimee Leduc Investigation: 2 (An Aimée Leduc Investigation) - Tapa blanda

Praise for Murder in Belleville

"If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the airfare and read Cara Black's Murder in Belleville instead. It's so authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee."
--Val McDermid

"While Aimée grounds the novel with her strong, savy personality, in Murder in Belleville the real star of the show is Cara Black's depiction of contemporary Paris with its racial tensions and seedly underworld. The sights, sounds and smells of the city are captured in exquisite detail."
--San Francisco Chronicle

"Cara Black and Aimée Leduc are to Paris what Sara Paretsky and V.I. Warshawski are to Chicago . . . She makes Paris come alive as no one has since Georges Simenon."
--Stuart M. Kaminsky

"Intriguing . . . The suspense begins immediately . . . Some of Black's strongest writing is in her descriptions of Belleville's heady atmosphere."
--Publishers Weekly

"Blurring the edge between mystery and thriller, Black's second makes April in Paris more spine-tingling but more beautiful than ever."
--Kirkus Reviews

--The Wall Street Journal

"A tightly spun web worthy of a classic spy thriller . . . Leduc's City of Light is a stylish, dangerous place."
--The Washington Post
