In the 20th book in the Aimee Leduc Investigations series, Aimee and friends are celebrating her daughter, Chloe’s, third birthday. Only two months after 9/11, Paris is on edge. When Boris realizes he left Chloe’s gift back at the police station he hurries back to get it, only to be caught in a police lab bombing. He’s considered a prime suspect and Amie and her partner rush to help prove Boris was not the bomber. As a reader of very few Aimee Leduc mysteries, I was often confused about who was who. If this is you first Leduc mystery, chose earlier mysteries to start with. ( ) Paris, terrorism, historical-novel, historical-research, history-and-culture, law-enforcement, falsely accused, family, family-dynamics, relationship-issues, relationships, investigation, private-investigators, murder, 21st-century**** It feels like the kind of book that enriches an addictive series but needs something in order to stand alone. The publisher's blurb gives a good start, but I would have been more comfortable with an audiobook. The murder mystery with all of its tension, plot twists, and red herrings is very well done but the personal background and interpersonal stuff left me behind. Still, I liked it very much. I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Soho Press/Soho Crime via NetGalley. Thank you! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"November, 2001: in the wake of 9/11, Paris is living in a state of heightened fear, with constant bomb alerts and heightened ethnic tension. For Aimée Leduc, November is bittersweet: the anniversary of her father's death and her daughter's third birthday fall on the same day. A gathering for family and friends is disrupted when a bomb goes off at the police laboratory-and Boris Viard, the partner of Aimée's friend Michou, is found unconscious at the scene of the crime, his fingerprints on the bomb fragments. Aimée doesn't believe Boris set the bomb. In an effort to prove him not guilty, she battles the police and his own lab colleagues, collecting conflicting eyewitness reports. When a member of the French secret service drafts Aimée to help investigate possible links to an Iranian Revolutionary guard and fugitive radicals who bombed Interpol in the 1980s, Aimée uncovers ties to a cold case of her father's. As Aimée scours the streets of Teheran-sur-Seine trying to learn the truth, she has to ask herself if she should succumb to pressure from Chloe's biological father and move them out to his farm in Brittany"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
