"…such fun…a delightfully unbuttoned Audrey Hepburn for the twenty-first century… "—Booklist

"[Aimee’s] two investigations link in a surprising way—there’s a really ripping ending—and make for interestingly different and over¬lapping tension. And with Aimée really on the defensive, she’s more appealingly tough yet vulnerable than ever. With its multiple strands, this work has a somewhat different feel from other Aimée Leduc novels. But never fear, it’s still a winner."—Library Journal

"Before Aimee Leduc can go to New York to meet a previously unknown brother at the start of Black’s solid...10th mystery to feature the Paris PI, dogged Inspector Melac arrests her for the nonfatal shooting of her partner, Rene Friant. "—Publishers Weekly
