Murder in Pigalle
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
June, 1998. Paris' sticky summer heat is even more oppressive than usual as rowdy French football fans riot in anticipation of the World Cup. Private investigator Aim���®e Leduc has been trying to slow down her hectic lifestyle, take on only computer security assignments, and maybe try to learn how to cook (quelle catastrophe!). She's vowed not to let herself get involved in any more dangerous shenanigans—she's five months pregnant and has the baby's well-being to think about now, too.
But all of her best intentions to live the quiet life fall away when disaster strikes close to home. A serial rapist has been terrorizing Paris' Pigalle neighborhood, following teenage girls home from junior high school and attacking them in their own houses. It is sad and frightening but has nothing to do with Aim���®e—until Zazie, the fourteen-year-old daughter of the proprietor of Aim���®e's favorite caf���®, disappears. The police aren't mobilizing quickly enough, and when Zazie's desperate parents approach Aim���®e for help, she knows she couldn't say no even if she wanted to. In the frantic race against time that ensues, Aim���®e discovers a terrifying secret neighborhood history that will leave lives in the whole quartier upended.
Inspired by a true crime story of a serial killer who wreaked havoc on Paris in the summer of 1998, Cara Black's fourteenth Aim���®e Leduc mystery is a thrilling follow-up to her 2013 New York Times bestseller, Murder below Montparnasse.

- content: Author Cara Black has created a lively, atmospheric mystery series featuring a Parisian female private investigator, Aimee Le Duc. Each murder mystery centers on a different Paris neighborhood, so each story is rich in local charm and Parisian joie de vivre. Narrating this crime novel is challenging, even for an experienced narrator like Meredith Mitchell. There are many characters of both sexes, all ages and temperaments. Adding to the challenge are the French phrases scattered liberally throughout the dialogue. Mitchell's French pronunciation is convincing, but her use of French accents seems arbitrary. Her portrayal of the pregnant detective is exactly right, and we feel the young woman's tenacity, tenderness, and vulnerability. This series is rapidly gaining followers.

January 13, 2014
Set amid the madness of the 1998 World Cup final, Black���s well-crafted 14th Aimée Leduc investigation (after 2013���s Murder Below Montparnasse) finds the Parisian PI, who���s five-months pregnant, ready to take a break and ponder her future as a single mom. Aimée has reduced her workload, taking mostly cases involving cybercrime, but the disappearance of 13-year-old Zazie Duclos, the daughter of good friends and an Aimée wannabe, snaps her back into active investigator mode. Further complicating the disappearance���in addition to World Cup fever and a daring heist���is a string of recent rapes by a serial pedophile that the police appear to have put on the back burner. Despite her pregnancy, Aimée throws her whole self into the mix, risking life and limb to rescue the girl. A strong sense of place and a deliciously twisted plot more than compensate for some stilted dialogue. Agent: Katherine Fausset, Curtis Brown.
