Welcome to Litsy!

This was an enjoyable read albeit covering a very difficult history. I love a good detective thriller.

I‘m conflicted about this one…On the one hand, the writing was often clunky, bordering on bad occasionally, while the story, on the other hand, was an interesting one which by the back third of the book kept me relentlessly turning the pages. The first in a mystery series set in Paris I didn‘t love it but I maybe liked it just enough that I‘ll read the next book to see if the writing issues get ironed out. If so, I might continue with the series.

Happily, I‘m executing my weekend reading plan…as planned! Review for The Last Watch coming soon. Right now, it‘s time to start this one.

The second book in the Aimée Leduc series, she is asked to do some surveillance on a friend's husband but Aimée decides not to help but ends up helping her friend anyway as a car bomb goes off with the friend inside. I like that is set in Paris, it was an enjoyable read.

A mystery inside a mystery. We are drawn back to an old crime Aimee‘s mother perpetrated. However, the biggest mysteries go unsolved.

First book in a mystery series set in Paris. I quite enjoyed the World War II background to the crime in the story which is always a plus for me.

4⭐️ I really enjoyed the book. I think it helped not to put it down for a few days. #ebook #2020 #mystery #fiction

Parisian P.I. Aimée Leduc strives to clear the name of a childhood friend, who's charged with shooting her partner, Jacque. Leduc encounters many adventures in this book; terrorists, prostitutes, a painter's stepdaughter and a crooked Corsican bar owner. She learns of "Big Ears" which records electronic communications. Jacques' murder brings her closer to solving her father's death. Read these books. Full of adventure. Setting is interesting.

*I started out loving this one. It seemed interesting as regards Aimée‘s personal life, propulsive as regards the storyline, and nice and twisty as regards the kidnapping of René. But towards the end, I had to bring up my auto-recall function—too many minor characters with sporadic appearances—I couldn‘t remember all of them; and suspend my disbelief—did she really climb up a trestle with a man with a prosthetic leg—I think Black ⬇️
