Murder in Belleville (Aimee Leduc Investigations, No. 2)
3 journalers for this copy...
Tension runs high in this working-class neighborhood as a hunger strike to protest strict immigration laws escalates among the Algerian immigrants. Aimée barely escapes death in a car bombing in this tale of terrorism and greed in the shadows of Paris.
Mailing out to someone who selected it from a VBB. Enjoy.
Arrived in the mail today and I am excited to read it. Read the first in this series a year or so ago and quite enjoyed it. Book No 5 is sitting on Mt TBR, but this one will obviously be read ahead of it since I have that opportunity now. Thanks for sharing!
An interesting exploration of Paris and the parts of the city where Algerian and other Muslim peoples live. This is a smidgen dated because it is set in the 1990s, but I bet a lot of the same problems exist. The mystery was good and probably would have been better if I had been able to keep the characters of potential villains safe. And there was at least one aspect of the motivation of people that could have been explained better, because I am still not sure what Yves' was writing his story about. Still, Aimee Leduc remains a great kick-ass heroine and I will continue to follow her adventures and try to better understand the city she calls home.
