A Huffington Post Best Mystery of 2017 Praise for Murder in Saint-Germain
"The abiding pleasure of this series is the chance to ride with a cabdriver who wants to discuss Sartre or just tearing around Paris on Aimee's pink Vespa, making stops at the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Ile Saint-Louis, where Aimee has an apartment. Lucky girl."
--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"An atmospheric thriller with a savvy take on international arms dealing."
--Jane Ciabattari, BBC's Between the Lines
"The pace is, as ever, lickety-split, the sleuthing complex and the small pauses to savour Saint-Germain's glories delightfully educational."
--The Toronto Star
"Black's detective is hitting her post-pregnancy stride, bringing up bebe while battling the bad guys with the best of them."
--Kirkus Reviews

--USA Today
"Quintessential summer reading."
--The Boston Globe
"Smashing and suspenseful."
--The BBC's Between the Lines
"If you're looking for a page-turner crime novel that takes you through the ins and outs of Paris, Black has enough material to keep a reader busy for quite a while."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"A gripping plot...[Black] is good at providing the reader with some real suspense."
--Bookgasm
"Transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French."
--Alan Furst
"A winning mystery, as stylish and sexy as the city Cara Black knows so well."
--George Pelecanos
"Wry, complex, sophisticated, intensely Parisian . . . One of the very best heroines in crime fiction today."
--Lee Child
"So authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee."
--Val McDermid
"[Cara Black] is on to a good thing: each of her novels is set in a colorful Parisian neighborhood--and there are a lot of them. The cumulative result of reading this addictive series is a sort of mini-tour of the city, as seen through a filter of fictional murder . . . Leduc is always a reliable and charming guide to the city's lesser-known corners."
--The Seattle Times
"Similar to Donna Leon in her terrific Venice series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, Cara Black imbues her fiction with moral and social issues impacting modern-day Europe."
