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.

Andrew65 @EadieB Yes disappointing, especially after the first one. 4y
Crazeedi I've dropped out of this one unfortunately, the last 2 didnt impress me 4y
EadieB @Crazeedi I think I may give up this series too because of all the books we are reading in 2020. 4y
gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 @Crazeedi Hey you guys! I thought everyone had dropped this buddy read,so I didn‘t bother reading this month! Oops! I‘m so sorry to have gotten you all into these—even my mom decided she didn‘t want to read anymore of them—not enough happening for her, either! Great review, though, Eadie! And again, I‘m sorry you guys. 😐 4y
Andrew65 I‘m happy to carry on but couldn‘t get ho,d of this one. No audiobook of it on Audible. @gradcat @EadieB @Tove_Reads @Crazeedi But looks as though it may be a series people are dropping off. (edited) 4y
gradcat @Andrew65 I was going to read this one next, this I would be somewhat late, but I‘ll go along with whatever you all decide. ♥️ 4y

Murder in Clichy | Cara Black

Linh, a nun, asks Aimee to go Clichy to exchange envelope for a package. Recipient Barat is shot and dies in Aimee's arms. The RG - French secret service; group of veterans of war in Indochina, some wealthy ex-colonials and international corporations are implicated. Aimee promised to avoid danger but it finds her. I find Black's books to be easy reading & atmospheric. Paris is definitely a character in her books. Looking forward to next book.

Crazeedi Hi Eadie! You got home safe and sound? I'm halfway through this one. Need to get finished!! 4y

EadieB @Crazeedi Yes home safe and sound! 4y
gradcat Good review, Eadie! Glad you‘re home AND that you‘re feeling okay! ♥️ 4y
EadieB @gradcat Thanks! Still coughing but not as bad as before trip. Still annoying though. How are you feeling? 4y
gradcat @EadieB Hi Eadie! It‘s nice to catch up with you today. I‘m lots better, thank you for asking. Finally made it into the shower—ugh! I felt so gross—so feeling lots better! Maybe you have to sip on some honey bourbon for that cough. That‘s what I do...not for the flu, of course, but nagging cough sends me straight to the bourbon! Egads!! ♥️ 4y
EadieB @gradcat Don't like bourbon but I have cough drops that have honey and lemon in them and they do help. 4y
gradcat @EadieB Good enough—they should work, I hope! ♥️ 4y

Paris April 1944. A hunger strike to protest strict immigration laws escalates among the Algerian immigrants. Car bombing and Aimee & her friend, Anais, barely escape. Aimee will investigate to find out the truth behind the bombing. The plot is complex and the characters are many to keep track of. I like the French history in these books and Black's writing is very interesting. Look forward to 3rd book in the series & highly recommend this one.

Crazeedi I'm halfway through, hope to finish tonight or tomorrow! I do like this series! 5y
EadieB @Crazeedi Me too! 5y
gradcat Omigod!! You‘re already finished? I‘m just starting right now...oops!! 5y

This thriller looks thrilling 😉 -- unreliable witness, Paris, police investigation, difficulty telling fact from fiction... and blurbs from #ChrisPavone (love *his* thrillers!), #SarahPinborough, #CaraBlack. I'm sold!
